The DOD has a need for surgery and procedural training models, which have a high degree of realism and functionality with synthetic skin, muscle, vessels, adipose, and connective tissue. The 3D printing of synthetic tissues enables such models to be fabricated customized to particular situations (i.e. unique anatomy, bone fracture, or condition) and with lower cost than conventional methods. Inco ...

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

In order to meet Department of Defense, Defense Health Agency’s (DoD, DHA) need for a field-ready, antiseptic, warming, and pressure relieving casualty transport pad for up to 72 hours of litter evacuation, ChromoLogic proposes to develop an antiseptic, w

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

The potential to transform healthcare management through information technology continues to grow, as more systems, devices, and people than ever before provide and collect health data. Unfortunately, progress is slow because the multitude of systems to integrate do not speak a common language. We propose to create a universal translator between health languages, which will allow multiple system ...

The most critical obstacle to the seamless exchange of healthcare information is the translation from the proprietary medical ontologies of private providers to a universal reference language (i.e., the 3M Health Data Dictionary). Stottler Henke proposes to develop a new system, called Bridge, which will directly address this challenge through three primary techniques. First, we employ a novel a ...

In order to meet the Defense Health Agencys need for addressing the prevention of secondary brain injury from moderate, severe and penetrating traumatic brain injury (TBI), ChromoLogic proposes to develop a cerebral trauma recovery (CereTRec) drug delivery system. In particular, CereTRec aims to treat TBI during prolonged field care (PFC) to stabilize casualties who sustain a moderate-severe TBI. ...
