Mild Traumatic Brain Injury (mTBI), more commonly known as concussion, is well reported in both civilian and military literature, and has gained significant public attention due to recent conflicts in the Middle East and the extensive media coverage on the dangers of sports related head trauma. The Army has identified the need to develop a simple, easy-to-use, portable screening device to assess m ...

The goal of IPAS is to design and develop Data Integration and Predictive Analysis System (IPAS) that enables prediction, analysis, and response management of incidents of human infectious diseases.IPAS collects and integrates comprehensive datasets of previous disease incidents and potential influencing factors such as environmental, vector prevalence, demographic, health conditions, other diseas ...

About 40% of trauma-related deaths are associated with rapid onset of coagulopathy. The vast majority of trauma patients are coagulopathic at the time of death. In Phase I, Lynntech demonstrated strong proof-of-concept for developing a novel, easy-to-use and cost effective device for quantitative real-time detection of a biomarker of coagulopathy, using human unprocessed whole blood as the input s ...

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 casu ...

Traumatic upper limb musculoskeletal injuries and neurodegenerative conditions such as stroke routinely afflict our Warfighters, veterans and citizens and lead to significant loss of upper limb function.Assistive and rehabilitation orthotic devices (ARO

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 ...

We propose to develop the Quality Cost Value Calculator (QCVC) to automatically evaluate the value of cycles of care by measuring the cost and quality (in terms of outcomes defined from the patients perspective and the commanders perspective) of care. QCVC will enable DoD health care providers to achieve higher reliability of care and will enable leadership and decision makers to guide process imp ...

The objective of this Phase I proposal is to develop, design, and prototype a computer-based, Automated Vision Tester (AVT) for comprehensive vision screening of military aircrew. A fully realized AVT would combine a variety of clinical screening tests into a unified, automated tabletop unit capable of conducting screenings at both near (14 in./35 cm) and far (20 ft/6 m) distances. The ideal test ...

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) impacts over two million Americans annually, and is the signature injury of the Iraq and Afghanistan conflicts. Therapeutic hypothermia is a promising neuroprotective technique for treating TBI, but reduced body temperature is a threat to soldiers in military operations with multiple injuries. Mainstream has proposed a novel vapor compression cooling system that overco ...

BioMojo LLC and the Departments of Mathematics and Biomedical Engineering at the University of North Carolina Chapel Hill, will develop a preliminary bio mathematical model framework to represent how human tissues interact and behave at their boundaries. Tissue interaction properties (e.g. tensile, shear, friction, and so forth) of connective, epithelial, muscular, and nervous tissue including su ...
