Most standard-of-care tools and techniques for evaluating neck disorders are subjective, unreliable, and do not provide actionable information for providers, payers, and organizations to deliver efficient and effective care. This lack of objective neck he

It is critical for the DoD to protect warfighters from non-combat threats such as infectious diseases; infections can impair warfighter function and even result death. One limit to development and deployment of certain vaccines is the limited ability to store, transport and administer with a single vial. As such, the DHP is seeking development of a single, highly capable cryovial for eukaryotic ce ...

To address the DHA need for a new treatment approach for osteochondral defects that is able to conform to a wide range of complex geometries, Physical Optics Corporation (POC) proposes to develop a new Conformable Orthopaedic Repair Approach (CORA). It is based on minimally invasive delivery of a gel that can be stabilized in situ at the defect site. Specifically, the innovation in our approach is ...

Our proposal develops an osteochondral repair platform that is conformable to a wide variety of injury geometries without the need for pre-operative customization. Further this platform does not rely on any autologous tissue and is amenable to scalable manufacturing methods. The basis of this platform is a targeted delivery technology that permits site-specific osteo-chondral induction within inj ...

Team RTI is proposing to develop a comprehensive environment that will facilitate the provisioning and deployment of Network Function Virtualization in tactical DIL networks. We believe that it can add network resilience, enable improved data prioritizati

The overall incidence of burns in current military operations has nearly doubled during the past few years and this type of injury remains a common component of armed conflicts. To address the need for prevention of scar contracture following burns, Physical Optics Corporation (POC) proposes to develop a new Control of Scar Contracture After Burn injury (SCAB) topical formulation. The SCAB is desi ...

Electronic textiles (aka electrotextiles, e-textiles, or smart fabrics) represent a revolutionary advancement in how the myriad of peripheral devices and associated capabilities issued to dismounted personnel might be integrated into their combat ensemble. The Defense Health Agency (DHA) has identified e-textiles as a potential means of unobtrusively monitoring health and detecting injury events ...

Veterans with amputations are relatively common as a result of war and peace keeping efforts. The civilian amputee population is also steadily growing as a result of vascular disease. For many years, there has been an emphasis on the development of prosth

Current therapies to prevent scar formation and contracture of burns are minimally effective. QuickMed Technologies (QMT) proposes to develop an advanced therapy to enhance healing and prevent contraction of burn scars by combining the advanced prototype BURN-PLUS dressing with Endoform dermal template. BURN-PLUS is an occlusive island dressing with an adhesive apron bonded onto a super absorben ...

Toyon Research proposes to develop a Thermal Desorption tube sampling system, capable of meeting the requirements stated in the project solicitation: a programmable interface that allows adjusting sampling system operation in situ; a mechanical design that supports replacing used tubes to support indefinite sampling periods; and an approach for receiving trigger signals from a real-time sensor. Ba ...
