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 Phase I and Phase II projects that are the basis for this Phase II enhancement proposal tested the feasibility of releasing opiate compounds from a topical wound dressing for burn pain relief and treatment. This project culminated with a regulatory s

Problem: Currently available resuscitation fluids have been shown to induce detrimental effects on trauma outcomes. Objective: The objective of this proposal is to use the data from the successful Phase 1 studies to guide the continued development and te

The CONOPS for the Expeditionary Medical Support System (EMEDS) is based on practical effectiveness, speed, and efficiency. Key among the tools required by the Air Mobility Command and the Air Combat Command, which are two of the major commands that are part of the United Air Force is a multi-channel intravenous infusion pump capable of delivering fluids that meets the safe-to-fly criteria for all ...

A proof-of-concept research on Intelligent Patient Platform is proposed with the goal to improve healthcare training experience by adding natural language capability to patient simulators by leveraging the latest artificial intelligent technologies so tha

At present, there are no solutions for equipping Class 1 and 2 unmanned aerial system (UAS) platforms with weapons systems that provide the capability for opportunistic engagement of high value targets (HVT). Munitions deployed on larger UAS, and other fixed-wing SOCOM assets, greatly exceed the payload capacity of Class 1 and 2 UAS assets currently in use for intelligence, surveillance, and recon ...

Traumatic injuries to the limbs of soldiers are commonplace on the battlefield. Current methods of providing immediate pain relief to injured soldiers involve the administration of opiates or other drugs. Aside from the negative side effects of opiate use

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 practic

Service members are exposed to high noise environments on a daily basis. Aviation, mechanized, light and armored units are all exposed to environments well in excess of the permissible noise levels. In aviation alone, flight crews spend a majority of thei

Nanohmics proposes to develop a radically new type of general water toxicity monitor based on the widely published principle that many eukaryotic (including yeast) cell lysosomes swell and increase in numbers in response to pollutants in water within 30-6
