This proposal is to develop an adaptable and expandable simulation-based training system for teaching and training the soon-to-be-deployed medics in junctional and non-compressible hemorrhage control and other point of injury care trauma control scenarios using Combat Ready Clamp, Abdominal Aortic Tourniquet or similar devices. Training system will include: 1. A model of a torso mimicking anat ...

Use of information technology within the U.S. healthcare system has made considerable strides forward in the past few years but to fully realize the full benefits of an Electronic Health Record - including higher quality and safety of care through access to the patient"s complete health record at the point of care, increased participation by patients in their healthcare through access to a shared ...

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 ...

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 goal of this Phase I project is to develop an engineering plan and to create a prototype for a mobile, cloud-based expert system to aid in diagnosis, decision support and predictive analytics to improve clinical outcomes for veterans, soldiers, and their families with traumatic brain injury (TBI) and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Lifecom, Inc. is a health information technology compan ...

To meet the DHP"s need for a freestanding, lightweight, compact, portable trap to collect a broad spectrum of flying disease vectors, Physical Optics Corporation (POC) proposes to develop a Multi Configurable Trap (McTrap), based on a combination of trap features that have proven effective in collecting different species; a solar-powered internal rechargeable power source; and a lightweight CO^2 s ...

Flying insect vectors and the diseases they transmit continue to be a significant source of concern for United States service members deployed in field operations. In an effort to reduce contact between the vectors and humans, military entomologists are often required to perform surveillance to assess the prevalence of disease vectors and to evaluate the effectiveness of control measures. Survei ...

With this Phase I SBIR project we intend to develop technical solutions to the primary issues limiting the feasibility of a stand-alone real-time balance feedback device. We intend to develop a technique that uses multiple sensors to estimate the orientation of the user"s body segments in the presence of real world disturbances. The effort will develop and validate techniques for accurate real-tim ...

In response to the DHP 12-010 self powered biosensor solicitation, MaXentric proposes the VitalH system. Acknowledging the difficultly in creating a completely self-powered bio-sensor system that wirelessly transmits vital sign information, MaXentric has developed a solution which is extremely power efficient and minimally invasive. The VitalH garment continuously senses full ECG waveforms in a co ...

To address the DHP need for a controlled, target-specific delivery system for topical treatment of peripheral neuropathy (PN), Physical Optics Corporation (POC) proposes to develop Nano Therapeutics for Peripheral Neuropathy (NATPEN). The NATPEN will include a nanocarrier (NC) loaded with specific drugs, a biocompatible gel to contain the NC, and a microneedle patch for transdermal delivery of the ...
