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

New developments in tools for exploitation of stereo aerial photography now enable desktop Windows applications capable of interfacing with existing GIS databases. One area of potential use for these tools is in the area of Highway Access Management especially as it relates to improvement in the process for Highway Driveways. Research is proposed to determine system requirements for using a digi ...

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 proposed research develops an innovative solution for a new SMART pipe system utilizing high-density polyethylene/fiber reinforced polymer (HDPE/FRP) composite system. The new pipe system utilizes a combination of three interacting materials: FFRP, HDPE, and concrete and is equipped with wireless sensors to provide mentoring capabilities during operations. The proposed system is suitable fo ...

Lack of transportation access affects approximately 30% of people with functional limitations. In fact, people with functional limitations experience transportation access barriers four times more than those without limitations. With the emerging market of low cost augmented and virtual reality technology, perceptual user interfaces (PUI) that interact more naturalistically with end-users are prov ...

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

BioMojo proposes to develop a language-based intelligent patient simulation platform for the purpose of providing students with a realistic training environment and instructors better control over the training environment involving simulated patients.
