ArchieMD will develop an augmented reality (AR) telemedicine training system for integration into the training and assessment of military medical procedures.The system will enable physician instructors to: 1) project expertise to the point of injury, pr

Augmented reality (AR) offers the ability to enhance existing combat medic training by including perceptual cues and adaptive training elements to traditional simulation-based training using manikins. Unveil has developed a training system called the Macrocognitive AR Trainer (MART). MART is designed to foster the development of macrocognitive skills (e.g., sensemaking, assessment skills, mental m ...

The primary objective of this Phase II proposal is to construct and validate the portable SpectralMD DeepView imaging technology designed previously in Phase I. This device allows surgeons to quickly and objectively assess tissue viability in burn surgery prior to skin grafting. DeepView uses machine learning and multispectral imaging to generate quantitative prognostic images with easily interpre ...

Providing Army combat medics with meaningful experience in treatment of battlefield injuries is a particular challenge. Moulage has the potential to assist in acquiring what could otherwise be very hard-to-come-by preparatory experience for distressing real-life emergencies medics and soldiers may encounter in the field. However, current approaches to moulage are limited in their ability to reflec ...

Fabrico Technology, Dr. Sanchita Bhadra and Professor Andrew Ellington of the University of Texas at Austin, have successfully demonstrated the proof-of-concept of an unparalleled, first-in-class in-field nucleic acid diagnostic platform for distinction of viable from non-viable E. coli and coliforms in

The Defense Health Agency (DHA) has identified electrotextiles as a potential means of unobtrusively monitoring health and detecting injury events for military personnel. As such, DHA seeks to understand how e-textile constructs might be best leveraged to sense potential injury events such that individualized care may be administered to support both in-combat self-sufficiency and long-term resilie ...

CRG proposes to develop a wearable health monitoring system that leverages multi-modal, distributive sensing through an array of miniature, ultra-low power sensors to realize high accuracy while mitigating bulk and discomfort.The proposed approach facil

Dynamic Avatars with Complete Articulated Anatomy (DACAA) is an innovative solution proposed and developed by the Innovision Team for USARIEM avatars repositioning and movement. Based on the advancements and findings achieved in Phase I, we have refined and renovated DACAA concept and expanded Phase II work scope to pursue advanced goals essential to USARIEMs mission. The renovated concept of DACA ...

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 ...

Shigella and non-typhoidal Salmonella (NTS) frequently cause gastrointestinal illnesses that lead to diarrhea and lost duty days in Service members with very limited access to advanced clinical diagnosis and care. These infections are easily communicable
