Traumatic brain injury (TBI) impacts over two million Americans annually, and is the signature injury of the Iraq and Afghanistan conflicts. Therapeutic hypothermia is a promising neuroprotective technique for treating TBI, but reduced body temperature is a threat to soldiers in military operations with multiple injuries. Mainstream has proposed a novel heat pump cooling system that overcomes the ...

The DoD is preparing for future Contested Degraded Operations (CDO) environments where it will not be possible to sustain the current levels of medical care across the chain of care. Enemy activity and lack of resources may limit the availability of front

A portable point of care device is proposed with features to enable rapid, automated, vascular access with single-stick accuracy by a medic with limited experience. A user-friendly GUI guides the medic in the device’s use. Novel proprietary algorithms ar

USmilitary medical personnel are deployed to a variety of operationalenvironments wheretheir success savinglives depends on their ability to act quickly and effectively, both as individuals and as teams. Currently, trainers must infercompetence by observation alone—a challenging task. Automatically sensingindicators ofcognitive workload can augment performance observations, offeringinsight into ...

Medical combat training relies heavily on medical simulation, particularly for practicing highly invasive, life-saving medical procedures. However, the major drawbacks to medical simulators include high costs of replacement parts, limited repeated use, an

Triton Systems will apply our novel materials design expertise to develop a rugged training model that will realistically simulate female anatomy to support the simulation-based training of battlefield Tactical Combat Casualty Care (TC3). Our approach is focused on the main limitations of current trainer models, such as visual and tactile inaccuracies, which minimize the effectiveness of the psych ...

Triton is developing a device to be used in the temporary management of injury following ocular trauma. Triton is characterizing performance in vivo in Phase II.

Triton is developing a simulation-based system to provide psychomotor skills training to advanced health care providers in the performance of a Lateral Canthotomy and Cantholysis (LCC) procedure, a method of preserving eyesight. Our full prototype demonstrated in Phase I was designed iteratively following user feedback.

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

Tiger Tech Solutions, Inc. has developed a unique professional quality biomedical wearable monitoring system. The consumer-oriented devices available on the market today are not suitable for the needs of the warfighter. The Tiger Tech Warfighter Monitor (
