For this Phase II SBIR project, Vcom3D proposes a Serious Game for Continuity of Care that trains combat physicians in making critical medical decisions when faced with a multiple-casualty, multi-trauma incident. The Serious Game for Continuity of Care will provide a fast-paced learning environment that will require the selective attention to numerous, competing visual and aural cues and delegatio ...

Concern has been raised over the prevalence of behavioral health disorders in military personnel returning from deployment to the Middle East. While not appearing as an overt physical injury, disruptions of a psychological nature are often as debilitating, and there is an increasing need for support tools. Such tools should allow for standardized tracking, monitoring, and mitigation of anger and ...

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 ...

This project is divided into a refinement phase and an optional advanced technologies phase. The first year will be devoted to development of a simplified SynDaver Basic (SB) model, a more advanced male full body (SSH-MFB) version of the SynDaver Synthetic Human, and simple sensing technologies to allow the SSH to be used in armor and MRAP development. The second year will focus on development ...

The Return on Investment Tool for Effective Medical Training (RITE-MT) tool aims to substantially improve the decision making process of training system requirements and acquisition professionals by objectively quantifying training system Return On Training Investment (ROTI) based on lifecycle cost, schedule and performance impacts. RITE-MT uses a training needs-based approach to ROTI which incorp ...

Wearable devices have grown to meet the demand for continuous, noninvasive vital signs monitoring in the military and civilian health care markets.These devices have largely excluded pulse oximetry because non-traditional sites, such as the chest, arm and legs, pose a challenge. We have previously demonstrated the ability to accurately monitor pulse oximetry on the chest, arms and calf.This projec ...

Successful completion of the previous Phase I study and additional clinical trials has demonstrated that percutaneous peripheral nerve stimulation (PNS) has the potential to provide non-opioid pain relief and improvements in function to injured Service members, Veterans, and civilians. Feedback from military advisors, clinicians, and patients have identified challenges that must be addressed to tr ...

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 ...
