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

Tension pneumothorax (PTX) is the presence of air between the parietal pleural and visceral pleural, and most often occurs as a result of blunt or penetrating thoracic trauma. Left untreated, the accumulation of air in the pleural cavity shifts the medias

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

Traditionally P&O interface design has been a craft activity, based primarily on the experience of the P&O provider. Even with advances in computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing, the design process remains artisanal and without a clear sci

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

Current balance and gait assessment practices in field environments lack adequate sensitivity to measure subtle but potentially duty-limiting deficits in Service Member (SM) performance. Clinicians endeavor to provide timely, evidence-based assessment of

The Defense Health Agency has identified the need for an advanced computing and networking capability to support unfettered operation of Electronic Medical Records (EMR) systems in delayed/disconnected, intermittently-connected, low-bandwidth (DIL) enviro

This project addresses the need for a compact loudspeaker array to test spatial hearing in audiometric sound booths. Spatial hearing tests, especially tests of sound localization and spatial unmasking of speech reception, are needed both for qualifying pr
