Oceanit proposes to develop improved circumaural ear seals for hearing protection and communication devices that have the ability to better fit to the features of the Service members head and eyewear providing an improved seal, reducing environmental stress while providing an improved level of noise attenuation to help reduce incidence of noise induced hearing loss (NIHL) and improve communication ...

The published data has demonstrated that the currently available resuscitation fluids have detrimental effects on trauma outcomes.By addressing these deficiencies it is expected that the outcomes will improve. The crystalloid based resuscitation fluid in development by GanD Inc. has been designed to address all of the shortcomings of the currently available solutions.The solution, GND-001, is a cr ...

The primary objective of this Phase II proposal is to construct and validate the portable SpectralMD DeepView imaging technology designed previously in Phase I. This device allows surgeons to quickly and objectively assess tissue viability in burn surgery prior to skin grafting. DeepView uses machine learning and multispectral imaging to generate quantitative prognostic images with easily interpre ...

Providing Army combat medics with meaningful experience in treatment of battlefield injuries is a particular challenge. Moulage has the potential to assist in acquiring what could otherwise be very hard-to-come-by preparatory experience for distressing real-life emergencies medics and soldiers may encounter in the field. However, current approaches to moulage are limited in their ability to reflec ...

The high rate of non-medical Soldiers (Combat Lifesavers and self-aid/buddy-aid) performing field care necessitates additional medical training for those Warfighters.Unfortunately, most non-medical personnel are not provided with opportunities to practice medical skills in a high stress environment prior to completing them during live missions due to a lack of access to ruggedized high fidelity tr ...

Lynntech will design and build a laboratory scale reduced weight, environmentally stable, CBC device which is usable at Role 1 and higher which requires no cold chain storage. The device is specifically intended to be used by medical personnel deployed in Health Response Teams (HRTs) who are not lab technicians and who do not have rapid, reliable access to a hematology lab. To this end, the soluti ...

Tiger Tech Solutions, Inc. has developed the markets first hands-free real time continuous multi-vital wrist wearable that truly and accurately monitors an individuals bio metrics. The Tiger Tech Warfighter Monitor (WFM)a high-performance, medical grade wearable monitor designed for high activity, high stress heart rhythm collection and analysis.It is being designed to monitor the service persons ...

The ultimate goal of this research is to develop a realistic, immersive 3-D environment for training en route care personnel in primary/secondary assessment, patient stabilization, patient placement, and mission management. EVAC Sim will provide medic rehearsal opportunities for evacuation patient care scenarios. The simulation will help trainees understand resources available in aeromedical aircr ...

Stem cell apoptosis occurs when the interaction between the host brain extracellular matrix (ECM) and human induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) derived neural stem cell (NSCs) are directly injected into the injured brain regions. Establishment of a connection between ECM and iPSC/NSC could increase cell viability, differentiation, and promote functional recovery of the injured tissue. The critica ...

Warfighters in global regionsendemicto vector-borne diseases,such as malaria,experienceincreased probability of being non-combat casualties. Currently,amalariavaccineis under development that requirescryogenicstorageand transport (-150°C or lower)and therefore does not readily integrate with existingvaccine distribution networks such as the World Health Organization’s Expanded Program on Immuni ...
