Most standard-of-care tools and techniques for evaluating neck disorders are subjective, unreliable, and do not provide actionable information for providers, payers, and organizations to deliver efficient and effective care. This lack of objective neck he

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

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 balance and gait assessment practices in field environments lack adequate sensitivity to measure subtle but potentially duty-limiting deficits in Service Member (SM) performance. Clinicians endeavor to provide timely, evidence-based assessment of

Cornerstone Research Group Inc. (CRG) proposes to develop an externally wearable, non-invasive, battery-operated device capable of providing analgesia equivalent to pharmacological peripheral ring nerve blocks by manipulating nervous system activity with

Traumatic injuries account for 30% of all life years lost in the US and is the leading cause of death for people under 46 years of age. Uncontrolled bleeding or hemorrhage constitute 30-40% of trauma related deaths and are considered to be a major cause o

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

The goal of this project is to develop an augmented reality application, ASSET-AR, that supports the delivery of the Cricothyroidotomy emergency procedure. Team Cole Engineering Services Inc. (CESI), which includes the USF Center for Advanced Medical Learning and Simulation (CAMLS), leverages our combined experience in developing augmented reality applications and educating and training practicin ...

It is critical for the DoD to protect warfighters from non-combat threats such as infectious diseases; infections can impair warfighter function and even result death. One limit to development and deployment of certain vaccines is the limited ability to store, transport and administer with a single vial. As such, the DHP is seeking development of a single, highly capable cryovial for eukaryotic ce ...

Warfighters in global regions endemic to vector-borne diseases such as malaria experience increased probability of being non-combat casualties. Currently, there is a malaria vaccine under development that requires cryogenic storage and transport (-150C or lower), and therefore does not readily integrate with existing vaccine distribution networks such as the World Health Organizations Expanded Pro ...
