For this Phase I SBIR proposal, Vcom3D proposes to design an Advanced Female Trauma Training System that features the accurate representation of anatomical and physiological differences of the women in our nations armed forces, and of the types of injuries that they are most likely to sustain in combat. The training system will include a ruggedized medical manikin and a wireless tablet controller ...

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

THE CONTRACTOR SHALL DEVELOP A FUZZY SET METHODOLOGY FOR UNCERTAINTY ANALYSIS IN PROBABILISTIC SEISMIC SAFETY ASSESSMENT OF NUCLEAR POWER PLANTS. FUZZY SET LOGIC WILL BEUSED FOR COLLECTING, QUANTIFYING AND PROPAGATING SUBJECTIVE,ENGINEERING JUDGEMENT USED IN THE UNCERTAINTY ANALYSIS. IN PHASE I, FEASIBILITY OF THE PROPOSED APPROACH WILL BE DEMONSTRATED BY APPLYING IT TO SELECTED PARTS OF A PROBABI ...

The ultimate goal of this research is to develop an augmented reality telemedicine system for military environments. The system will reconstruct the 3D poses of a casualty using monocular video streams, independent of the viewing perspectives and device characteristics of the camera. This pose will then be used to overlay anatomy and other medical information over the field medics view of the ca ...

The DoD as a whole seeks the capability to optimally and rapidly return to duty the high rates of Warfighters with destabilizing lower limb injuries and conditions, the most prevalent injury being acute lateral ankle sprains and chronic ankle instability. Over 70% of the general population experience acute ankle sprains in their life, and the rate of ankle sprains in military personnel is nearly f ...

One in three humans currently living on earth are infected with Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the bacterium that causes tuberculosis. This number is astonishing and underscores our ever-increasing need for accurate and efficient tuberculosis diagnostics. This is especially true for the US military wherein troops are serving in areas around the world that have high tuberculosis incidence rates. While ...

Platelets play a central role in hemostasis and are responsible for many inherited and acquired bleeding disorders and thrombic events in human beings. A significant portion of post-trauma deaths are related to coagulopathy or hemorrhage events for both injured soldiers and civilian patients. Several platelet function analyzers have been designed and developed; however due to form-factor and/or ...

Burn injuries constitute 5-20% of combat casualties during conventional warfare. Nonviable tissue within the burn predisposes it to microbial colonization and subsequent infection. The goal of burn care, especially at early echelons, is to control infection until the injury either spontaneously heals or is surgically closed. Prevention of infection is crucial for patient survival and to reduce ...
