GeneCapture is proposing to use its rapid CAPTURE assay (Confirm Active Pathogens Through Unamplified RNA Expression) to identify the pathogen(s) in wound infections. The pathogen Infection Diagnostic (ID)test takes place in a disposable cartridge that integrates and automates the sample prep steps and determines the genetic signature of the pathogens present. The assay is based on immobilized ste ...

We propose to demonstrate the feasibility of a novel in-flight bladder relief undergarment to meet and/or exceed the key performance parameters (KPPs) per DHA193-003 solicitation. It is mission critical for air crew members to answer nature’s call with a

In both military and civilian aviation, the largest cause of fatalities is spatial disorientation (SD), which occurs when pilots lose situation awareness (SA), usually due to a loss of visual references or when the gravitoinertial forces associated with f

Problem: The limited availability of blood and blood products for use in prehospital settings is a significant concern. Objective: The objective of this proposal is to use in-vitro and in-vivo studies to evaluate a manufactured, “blood-like” prototype, P

Development of a low cost, lightweight lower-limb assistive device that provides assistive torque at the knee joint using compliant pneumatic actuators. This device would allow warfighters who have sustained lower extremity musculoskeletal injuries resul

Addressing the DHA need for a clinical decision support tool for early detection of direct energy induced injury to the retina, Hedgefog Research Inc. (HFR) proposes to develop an Automated Detection of Retinal Injury (ADRI) system with AI-enabled image a

The capability to accurately identify and characterize pathological oculomotor signatures and localize neuropathology for appropriate Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) diagnosis, management and disposition is important for an injured Warfighter. However, curre

In order to meet DHA’s need for a medical device that can provide real time analysis of middle ear mechanics as well as accurate assessment the tympanic membrane (TM) and hearing function, ChromoLogic proposes to develop an endoscopic optical coherence to

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

We propose development of an AR system that allows the medical personnel to visualize the internal anatomy of a patient by projecting relevant anatomical information onto the patient directly into the field of view (FOV) of the medic. With no medical imag
