Hyperkalemia continues to be a concern when treatingcombatcasualties.Like other stabilizinginterventions such as damagecontrol resuscitation,“Bridge Dialysis”is needed to improvethesurvival of patients with post-traumatic acutekidney injury. Unfortunately,current hemodialysis systems (includingthe new home ones) are bulky. TDA Research, Inc(TDA), in collaboration with University of Alabama, Bi ...

For this Phase I SBIR proposal, Vcom3D proposes to design advanced medical moulage that accurately simulates the progression of an injury or pathology by morphing through a series of clinical states to enable learners to confirm the progression of the wound and to determine whether iatrogenic errors or pathologies occurred duing treatment. The physical morphing moulage may be applied to medical m ...

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

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

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

Sweat contains biomarkers that give an indication of human cognitive levels. In this SBIR project TDA Research is developing a modular sweat sensor patch that has the capability to not only carry out real-time monitoring of select biomarkers, but also to

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 ...

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) impacts over two million Americans annually, and is the signature injury of the Iraq and Afghanistan conflicts. Therapeutic hypothermia is a promising neuroprotective technique for treating TBI, but reduced body temperature is a threat to soldiers in military operations with multiple injuries. Mainstream has proposed a novel heat pump cooling system that overcomes the ...
