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 proposed MIDI (Medical Informatics over a Distributed Infrastructure) system will provide comprehensive, efficient, easy to use, and easily deployed communication solutions for Military Healthcare Systems (MHS) in a broad range of environments. We lev

REACT will connect to a mix of proximity links between smartphones (e.g. NFC, QR-code sequences, BLE and WiFi). In particular we will implement a QR-based communications link prototype in Android to test performance of transfer between two smartphones. Li

Though prehospital military mortality rates continue to fall, there is still a need for improved point of injury care, with nearly a quarter of the 4,596 combat deaths in Iraq and Afghanistan between 2001 and 2011 classified as ‘potentially survivable’. T

Triton will develop a lightweight, portable casualty transport pad designed to meet the unique challenges of prolonged field care in remote environments. The pad will promote normothermia, redistribute pressure, and reduce shear forces over bony prominenc

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

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
