The goal of medical simulation-based training such as high-fidelity manikin simulators, part task trainers, and screen-based virtual patients, is to approximate real-life treatment experiences without risk to live patients. While the use of sensors has ma

We hypothesize that a combination of advanced insulating fabrics and a cooling method (gas-operated) can be integrated into a portable, light-weight device for field/en route controlled limb cooling. We aim to fabricate a prototype portable device for li

Care for the wounded Warfighters in austere and remote settings makes medical knowledge, skills and efficiency of the military medical professional paramount. For wounds that extend deep into internal anatomy, proper visualization of internal anatomy can

Triton will develop an automated framework that is intended to aid specialists in the fitting and design of Prosthetic & Orthotic interfaces. The framework will provide a means for rapidly and cost-effectively producing data to characterize the patient’s

A sensor for rapidly and reliably measuring the blood concentration level of an intravenously administered analgesic/anesthetic medication is proposed, providing a key feedback element for closed loop target controlled infusion analgesia/anesthesia (TCIA) systems. The addition of direct measurement of analgesic/anesthetic concentration to existing physiological/neurological feedback will address F ...

This proposal will investigate the requirements for an automated system that can provide triage, treatment, and diagnostic support for skin infections and other non-domestic dermatological conditions military personnel are at risk of contracting. 3Derm Sy

The goal of this project is to field an easy-to-use but highly capable cohort builder, integrated with Military Health System (MHS) data resources, that will enable clinicians, nurses and QA personnel to efficiently conduct clinical quality assurance and comparative effectiveness research studies, and to identify groups of chronically ill patients for whom there are opportunities for care remediat ...

Current cervical spine assessment methodologies are focused on subjective measures (i.e. pain reports) and range-of-motion (ROM) measures that only measure maximum head excursion and reach, but not dynamic motion. Due to report bias and existing incentive

Veterans with amputations are relatively common as a result of war and peace keeping efforts. The civilian amputee population is also steadily growing as a result of vascular disease. For many years, there has been an emphasis on the development of prosth

Current therapies to prevent scar formation and contracture of burns are minimally effective. QuickMed Technologies (QMT) proposes to develop an advanced therapy to enhance healing and prevent contraction of burn scars by combining the advanced prototype BURN-PLUS dressing with Endoform dermal template. BURN-PLUS is an occlusive island dressing with an adhesive apron bonded onto a super absorben ...
