Thereis increased interest in endovascular hemorrhagecontrol using aortic balloon occlusion to improve outcomes in preventable battlefield death from non-compressibletorso hemorrhage(NCTH). Our technology, the SABOT, is the nextgeneration in such catheters,which adds the ability of both selectivevascular bed perfusion, bypassinginjured beds, and partial perfusion. In phaseI thefeasibility and proo ...

Warfighters in global regionsendemicto vector-borne diseases,such as malaria,experienceincreased probability of being non-combat casualties. Currently,amalariavaccineis under development that requirescryogenicstorageand transport (-150°C or lower)and therefore does not readily integrate with existingvaccine distribution networks such as the World Health Organization’s Expanded Program on Immuni ...

There are several current and imminent orthotic and prosthetic (O&P) fitting scenarios that would greatly benefit from the ability to wirelessly collect and transmit physiological information from the user. Both upper- and lower- limb O&P fittings that: 1) use osseointegration, 2) have cable management issues, and 3) could benefit from physiological information from locations proximal to the prost ...

Rodents serve as models for the human brain and behavior, and their calls give researchers a window into their mood. Unfortunately, rodent calls are ultrasonic, so a researcher must record a test and then play the audio back at a slower speed to manually categorize and count calls. Software does exist to accomplish this task, but it does not have the ease of use or accuracy that researchers want. ...

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 ...

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 ...

ArchieMD will develop an augmented reality (AR) telemedicine training system for integration into the training and assessment of military medical procedures.The system will enable physician instructors to: 1) project expertise to the point of injury, pr

Shigella and non-typhoidal Salmonella (NTS) frequently cause gastrointestinal illnesses that lead to diarrhea and lost duty days in Service members with very limited access to advanced clinical diagnosis and care. These infections are easily communicable

Individuals with amputation are often provided with prostheses that are expensive to make and unintuitive to control, with limited time in the occupational therapy clinic to learn how to best use the device.The goal of this work is to develop an afford
