Development and commercialization of advanced blood simulant system are proposed. The advanced blood simulant will be non-biological and have realistic color, flow, and coagulation properties. The simulant will be developed in tandem with coagulation laminate. The testing will be performed using currently used training hemorrhage simulators. The new advanced blood simulant will be used in trai ...

The AutoTIVA system, to be developed under this program, comes as an answer to the Army requirement for a "deployable automated analgesia and anesthesia system".The AutoTIVA device concept is akin to that of an autopilot for anesthesia and sedation, where the administration of both intravenous analgesics and hypnotics are adjusted continuously in real-time, to drive and maintain patients in a pre- ...

Rapid and accurate characterization and/or identification of the differentiation state of the stem cells is critical to the development of regenerative medicine technologies as well as tissue engineering solutions. Current methods and devices are time-consuming, labor-intensive, costly, invasive, and consequently, ill-suited for deployment in military and other limited resource settings. To overco ...

Many studies exist which validate M & S based medical training tools as effective in improving practitioner performance. There is little research addressing the cost effectiveness of such training solutions. A gap exists in the integration of cost, performance, schedule, risk, patient outcome improvement, and training efficiency and training transfer factors in assessing medical M & S based train ...
