Defense Health Program (DHP) seeks to develop a new and innovative point of injury device to manage patients with moderate-to-severe Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI). Critical Innovations, NeoMatRx, and KARA & Associates, with consultants Captain David Plurad, MD, FACS (USN, Ret.) and neurosurgeon Michael Levy, MD, PhD., have formed a team of medical device, trauma, and neurosurgical experts to addres ...

Existing visual screening devices consist of illuminated test cards. By rotating the knob, images may be changed; however, once the system is loaded with cards it cannot be easily reconfigured. There are a limited number of cards that a unit can hold at one time, and it is impossible to change cards on the fly if a patients vision needs further investigation or if the clinician wants to do variabl ...

Electronic health records (EHRs) provide benefits, including ease in storing/retrieving/sharing medical information, especially when patient care is shared among a number of medical personnel.EHRs have a significant drawback in that the medical care provider must turn away from the patient to look at a computer screen and remove their hands from the patient to enter data.In a clinical setting this ...

DoD requires a single, multiplexed, saliva-based diagnostic bioassay to determine multiorgan injury-relevant systemic toxicity. This assay should quantitatively-detect clinically relevant biomarkers in saliva and validate organ injury arising from chemical/xenobiotic exposure. Innosense LLC (ISL) is building on its proprietary carbon nanotube platform to construct Nano-Mos for detecting salivary b ...

The project team will develop a platform that will facilitate design challenges in K-12 classrooms across STEM academic topics and career paths within the field of engineering. The platform will enable classes to post their projects to the site and for other classes around the country to participate in the project. Each challenge (and the associated education resources curated for that challenge) ...

Major advances in prosthetic devices and aggressive rehabilitation over recent years have enabled many warfighters experiencing amputation to regain functional mobility, and often return to full active duty. A critical step to ensuring that these prosthetic devices function seamlessly with the patient is the initial alignment process. This alignment process is often iterative and time consuming, a ...

On-site, timely and accurate identification of fugitive emissions is an important step toward leak mitigation controls and strategies; however, no technology today is able to fill the sweet spot to provide the sensitivity, cost, and portability that the gas industry is in dire need of. BioInspira has developed arrays of color thin film that has been modified to bind to different components of natu ...
