Current practice for handling pre-hospital documentation is primarily paper based with several major limitations such as ease of loss or destruction, susceptibility to the environment, etc., which along with other factors have been identified as the reasons for the lack of pre-hospital care documentation. Moreover, the information related to care rendered by one unit (e.g., first responders at the ...

Commercial off the shelf (COTS) sequential samplers that pull contaminated air through thermal desorption (TD) sample tubes have many limitations that reduce their usefulness when they are used to measure volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in air.In this SBIR Project TDA Research is developing an intelligent thermal desorption tube sequential sampler that can be used for VOC sampling in the workspa ...

A cryovial suitable for vaccine storage below -150 C, containing a septum to facilitate syringe preparation in the field does not exist, but is urgently needed for eukaryotic whole cell products. Sanaria PfSPZ Vaccine, consisting of radiation-attenuated whole Plasmodium falciparum sporozoites (PfSPZ), has protected >90% of recipients against malaria in 5 clinical trials in the US, Europe and Afric ...

Micro-RDC has developed portable radiation effects test structures that scale to new process nodes.These structures will enable the investigation of the effects of radiation on the new technology from the material processing level as well as the circuit level.Fabricating the chosen structures and the refinement of software to extract the model parameters will be completed in this effort.A suite of ...

In this topic, we plan to design a vital EMF sensor to work under any conditions. The sensor will be integrated with smart clothing and using e-textile materials.

Accurateintravascularvolumeassessment improves the detection of hemorrhageand hypovolemiaand facilitates decision-makingrelativeto resuscitation,surgery,and selection of higher level ofmedical care. Non-invasiveassessment techniquesare particularly important in thefield. Currentapproachesand devices do not have broad utilityand availability. Duringthe PhaseIeffort, the project team developed alow- ...

Current methods to discern the differentiation state of stem cells are time-consuming, labor-intensive, costly, invasive, and consequently, ill-suited for clinical applications. To overcome these limitations, we propose to develop a microfluidic stem cell analyzer for accurate, non-invasive identification of the cell differentiation state in conjunction with automated cell sorting at high-throughp ...

Leveragingour expertise in electro-opto-mechanical device development and system integration (hardware and software) and the Phase-I achievement, Hitron Technologies Inc. (HTI) proposes to develop an autonomous solution tentatively named Tick Collection

Wearable devices have grown to meet the demand for continuous, noninvasive vital signs monitoring in the military and civilian health care markets.These devices have largely excluded pulse oximetry because non-traditional sites, such as the chest, arm and legs, pose a challenge. We have previously demonstrated the ability to accurately monitor pulse oximetry on the chest, arms and calf.This projec ...

Complete human anatomy avatars have a broad role in advanced training environments, performance-related physiological modeling, and simulations for the purpose of designing protective armor. The overall goal of this project is to design and develop computer software and data structures for adding articulated joints and natural motions to USARIEMs static finite element avatars and to create a graph ...
