This project will achieve a mobile application called SleepFit that enables users to track their sleep habits and receive feedback that promotes positive behavior change to improve sleep quality. The SleepFit app will: (1) unobtrusively collect accurate s

Piasecki Aircraft (PiAC) proposes to continue development and testing efforts of the Whimbrel UAS, a low cost, expendable, air-deployed weather survey unmanned aircraft system. The Whimbrel UAS, a low cost, expendable, air-deployed weather survey unmanned aircraft system. The Whimbrel USA has been developed to support the Tropical Cyclone Boundary Layer mission requirements and contains sensors an ...

The value of the subseasonal and seasonal probability forecasts of the National Weather Service (NWS) will be enhanced when the information about standard meteorological variables is converted into information about business impact variables such as degree days, wind and solar power potential, and end-of-season crop yield. Toward that goal, in Phase I we will identify a suite of such action variab ...

Neya Systems, LLC proposes RACC: Remote Assistance for Casualty Care. Our approach demonstrates a remote virtualized presence for medical expertise over a limited bandwidth communications link. A Medical Officer annotates an incoming video stream with procedural information for a full spectrum of medical demonstrations from simple text to manipulation via captured hand gestures. The annotations ar ...

The objective of the Phase II project is to develop a Residual Limb Health Monitoring Platform based on the Phase I findings and will integrate a sensor equipped smart socket liner, smart socket with radio transceiver and power source, and health monitoring software. Significantly, the software and hardware are open interface for new, 3rd party sensors, data transfer protocols, and prosthetic c ...

The goal of this research is to explore the feasibility of providing a low-cost Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) solution to assist underserved Emergency Medical Services (EMS) agencies of all sizes to better analyze and improve operations through real-time data analysis. Delivering a data analysis suite tuned to key performance indicators of EMS agencies as an online, cloud subscription will result ...

Accurately assessing a persons exposures to putative air toxicants is central to the challenge of determining health effects. The lack of low cost, easy-to-use personal air sampling technology hinders assessment especially in deployed military populations. We propose to introduce an innovative approach for measuring military and occupational exposure to fumes. We will demonstrate a lightweight, in ...

During combat a soldier may incur treatable injuries beyond the expertise of the combat medic. Addressing this by deploying more knowledgeable Medical Officers per-squad could be life-saving and significantly improve battlefield injury recovery. However, limited resources often prevent deployment of such expertise per-squad. During our Phase I RACC development, Neya Systems has successfully demons ...

Silicone wristband personal dosimeters (PDs) are uniquein being ableto measure both volatile(VOCs) and semi-volatile(SVOCs)compounds,capturing bioa ...

This project will demonstrate a cost-effective high-speed millimeter wave camera that can image and resolve moving objects from 3 m to 30 m away to enable curb-to-gate screening for airports. Millimeter wave light is often used for security screening because it is safe to use on people and can penetrate packaging, bags, and clothing to identify both metallic and non-metallic objects. The technolog ...
