The overall objective of this project (Phase I, II, and III) is to develop, fabricate, and test a novel biofidelic rat surrogate for the validation of primary blast loading conditions for mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI). The CFDRC/NJIT team will use extensive knowledge of blast loading characteristics and TBI studies coupled with past/ongoing efforts designing and testing a rat surrogate. In P ...

For this Phase I SBIR proposal, Vcom3D proposes to design advanced medical moulage that accurately simulates the progression of an injury or pathology by morphing through a series of clinical states to enable learners to confirm the progression of the wound and to determine whether iatrogenic errors or pathologies occurred duing treatment. The physical morphing moulage may be applied to medical m ...

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 the distressing real-life emergencies medics and soldiers may encounter in the field. However, current approaches to moulage are limited in their ability to re ...

Plasma from AB donors is considered universal as it can be transfused regardless of recipient blood type and is frequently used to rapidly resuscitate massively bleeding hospital trauma patients and warfighters with combat casualties. However supplies can be rapidly depleted as AB donors make up only 4% of the population. Therefore robust a technology to cost-effectively generate universal plasma ...

Design Interactive Inc. (DI) and Eastern Virginia Medical School (EVMS) propose to develop an Augmented reality Learning Environment for Refresher Training (ALERT) that provides realistic and relevant Tactical Combat Casualty Care (TC3) scenarios using AR technologies integrated with mannequins for pre-deployment training and humans for deployed training environments. ALERT will facilitate learnin ...

Surgical simulations aiming to support surgeon practices and medical education have attracted enormous research effort over the last two decades. However, the physical reality, especially on simulating aggregated tissue interaction, is still unsatisfactory. In this proposed work, an open source surgery simulation framework, SoFMIS, will be utilized and enhanced with tissue interaction models to a ...

The goal of this program is to develop an autonomous, hover-capable, flying robot with an onboard chemical sensor chip for chemical surveillance and environmental monitoring. The key capabilities of this integrated system will be, in order of priority: 1. Real-time chemical sensing and data transfer to a base station. The final platform will detect and identify airborne chemicals using the Mole ...

The ready availability of universal donor plasma to rapidly treat massively bleeding hospital trauma patients and warfighters with combat casualties is a key element of current recommendations for trauma resuscitation, yet universal AB donor plasma is rel

A human produces more than 100 Watts of waste heat during normal activity. If a fraction of this heat energy can be harvested it can replace the stored chemical energy in one or more of the batteries typically carried by soldiers in the field. The current generation batteries, such as the BB2590 are bulky and rigid. The PowerFelt material developed by Wake Forest University is ideally suited for h ...

The intelligence community still cannot satisfactorily answer critical fundamental preparation, planning, and execution questions about the environment in which US and allied forces operate and the people they seek to persuade. There is a vast amount of information, almost all of it unclassified, which characterizes population identities and interrelationships in terms of beliefs, values, interest ...
