The published data has demonstrated that the currently available resuscitation fluids have detrimental effects on trauma outcomes.By addressing these deficiencies it is expected that the outcomes will improve. The crystalloid based resuscitation fluid in development by GanD Inc. has been designed to address all of the shortcomings of the currently available solutions.The solution, GND-001, is a cr ...

Joint reduction is a key skill and is a core competency for orthopedic surgeons deploying as part of a trauma team.Current training options are limited to classroom instruction on uninjured persons due to lack of a suitable training simulator. The first true reduction performed by medical providers is on actual patients. This method of instruction prevents the trainee from developing the comfort a ...

Through previous grant awards from IES, researchers developed Graspable Math, a tablet-based intervention where middle and high school students create and manipulate complex expressions for basic operations as well as equations and equations systems and inequalities. In this project, the team will develop a prototype of Graspable Math Activities, an app with novel kinds of algebra practice and ass ...

In prior research and development, the developers created Tyto Online, an online multiplayer sandbox game where middle school students engage in quests to apply life science learning. This project will extend the game by developing a prototype for the Earth and Space science domain, with a prototype including quests for the Climate and Weather topic aligned to Next Generation Science Standards (NG ...

Clinicians have recognized that the nature of diseases can be highly individual resulting in different patterns of onset and progression. In turn, the response of an individual to drugs is also unique and governed by a variety of factors. Pharmacokinetic models represent the movement of a drug through the body, and personalized pharmacokinetic models aim to capture the unique responses of specific ...

Traumatic brain injury is a common problem in both the military and civilian communities, but current treatment protocols are focused on managing symptoms and fail to prevent significant long-term repercussions. In the proposed program, Luna will demonstrate the feasibility of a liposome-based therapeutic delivery system capable of delivering hydrophilic and hydrophobic therapeutics to the traumat ...

Medical simulation serves to bridge the gap between classroom presentation and live tissue training. Although simulation training can never completely replace live tissue training, it can enable earlier, more repetitive and more cost-effective training in proper technique, thereby accelerating development of the necessary cognitive and psychomotor skills. As combat medical training using human pat ...

Military Health Information Systems require trained and proficient personnel to support a wide range of system maintenance tasks to ensure the systems are secure and operational. However, the training requirements for these roles and the time required to perform them significantly detract from their primary roles as system users.QSI will develop and demonstrate an innovative software maintenance c ...

Tiger Tech Solutions, Inc. has developed the markets first hands-free real time continuous multi-vital wrist wearable that truly and accurately monitors an individuals bio metrics. The Tiger Tech Warfighter Monitor (WFM)a high-performance, medical grade wearable monitor designed for high activity, high stress heart rhythm collection and analysis.It is being designed to monitor the service persons ...

The ultimate goal of this research is to develop a realistic, immersive 3-D environment for training en route care personnel in primary/secondary assessment, patient stabilization, patient placement, and mission management. EVAC Sim will provide medic rehearsal opportunities for evacuation patient care scenarios. The simulation will help trainees understand resources available in aeromedical aircr ...
