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

Over 50,000 American warfighters had been wounded in action in Operations Iraqi and Enduring Freedom (OIF/OEF) with over 1,500 requiring major limb amputations. Warfighters and first responders must have proper tools for pain management during prolonged

Triton will develop a lightweight, portable casualty transport pad designed to meet the unique challenges of prolonged field care in remote environments. The pad will promote normothermia, redistribute pressure, and reduce shear forces over bony prominenc

Triton will develop an automated framework that is intended to aid specialists in the fitting and design of Prosthetic & Orthotic interfaces. The framework will provide a means for rapidly and cost-effectively producing data to characterize the patient’s

The proposed MIDI (Medical Informatics over a Distributed Infrastructure) system will provide comprehensive, efficient, easy to use, and easily deployed communication solutions for Military Healthcare Systems (MHS) in a broad range of environments. We lev

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

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

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

Ensuring military field water supplies are safe for human consumption is of critical importance to the United States Armed Forces. However, despite the need to routinely monitor water supplies the availability of field-ready tests is limited. In 2019 the

Though prehospital military mortality rates continue to fall, there is still a need for improved point of injury care, with nearly a quarter of the 4,596 combat deaths in Iraq and Afghanistan between 2001 and 2011 classified as ‘potentially survivable’. T
