Providing timely physical and mental health support to Servicemembers and determining their readiness for duty after mTBI is crucial to maintaining mobility, survivability, lethality, and adaptability of our US Armed Forces. While research indicates that

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 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

Secondary injuries including pressure-induced skin and soft tissue injury (PSSTI) and hypothermia complicate care for wounded soldiers starting from point of wounding up through higher levels of care. A transport pad capable addressing secondary injuries

Vecna Medical proposes a mobile app with a modular and open design to address the need for rapid epidemiological analysis of data from multiple data sources. The system will work natively on any mobile device (e.g., Android, iOS, Blackberry OS) and will be able to collect data from EHRs, disposable diagnostic devices, data mined information from the web, and data from direct mobile surveys. The sy ...

Health surveillance has the potential to contribute to understanding epidemic causes and progression. It consists of systematic collection and reporting of population-based data for the purposes of detecting, characterizing, and countering health threats. While this is sound theory, in practice, particularly in disaster medicine and ongoing SSTRO, the surveillance execution is inhibited by interre ...

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 ...

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 ...

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

To provide better healthcare to PTSD patients, there is a strong need to develop a powerful PTSD CDSS based on evidence-based treatment strategies, acting as an anytime virtual assistant for PTSD professionals, Primary Care Physicians (PCP) and residents. To address this critical need, Intelligent Automation, Inc., proposes to develop an innovative Virtual PTSD Clinical Assistant with Cloud Comput ...
