Pathological scarring, which often results in contracture, tends to be more prevalent in these burn cases due to the traumatic nature of the IED injury. ...

The U.S. Army has a requirement to develop a simulation-based training system to assist teaching and training the use of intraosseous (IO) devices in the humeral head to administer fluid to patients at point of injury. Through this Phase I SBIR effort, SIMETRI proposes to produce a prototype, proof-of-concept device, training aids, and training analysis that will demonstrate means to meet the Army ...

To address these challenges, the U.S. Army has created a Readiness and Resilience Campaign and defined the Performance Triad. we propose to augment this approach by creating and providing tools, in the form of mobile apps, for monitoring and providing fe ...

Recent advances in Micro-Electrical-Mechanical Systems (MEMS) have made accessible a variety of extremely small, rugged, reliable, low power consumption, and inexpensive AHRS sensors for motion capture. A collection of these devices should be capable of providing similar proprioceptive information that the distributed biological sensors of the human body provide the brain to carry out complex mob ...

Within the military, the proliferation of batteries required by the dismounted warfighter continues to be troublesome, both from the standpoint of weight and the need for replacement. Energy-harvesting technologies, which collect energy from naturally occurring motions, offer the possibility of reducing this concern. At the same time, the military has long sought the ability to continuously collec ...
