Problem: Currently available resuscitation fluids have been shown to induce detrimental effects on trauma outcomes. Objective: The objective of this proposal is to use the data from the successful Phase 1 studies to guide the continued development and te

SIMETRI’s effort to design, develop, and commercialize the Joint Articulation and Reduction Simulator (JAARS) integrates existing commercial manikin technology, presents multiple dislocation scenarios, and makes use of a modular design that includes Comme

Currently, deployed medics are required to transport, maintain and be resupplied with liquid-based medications and materials that are heavy, expensive to transport, perishable and may require refrigeration. Many medications and materials are or will soon

Snakebite is a well-recognized fear-inducing, occupational hazard of military service. An estimated 75% of fatalities from snakebite occur outside the hospital setting, but no easy-to-use field antidotes exist. Nor does there exist a synthetic antivenom r

Researchers are identifying new biomarkers to help monitor cognition and stress in the human body and enhance human performance. Traditional biomarkers like heart rate, temperature, oxygen saturation, blood glucose, electrolyte concentration, etc have bee

In order to meet DHP’s need for in-line, non-invasive and non-destructive cell monitoring in dynamically growing cultures, In Phase I, ChromoLogic (CL) developed a prototype system for cell monitoring by optical coherence tomography (CM-OCT). Following th

Sweat contains biomarkers that give an indication of human cognitive levels. In this SBIR project TDA Research is developing a modular sweat sensor patch that has the capability to not only carry out real-time monitoring of select biomarkers, but also to

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

This proposal is to develop an adaptable and expandable simulation-based training system for teaching and training the soon-to-be-deployed medics in junctional and non-compressible hemorrhage control and other point of injury care trauma control scenarios using Combat Ready Clamp, Abdominal Aortic Tourniquet or similar devices. Training system will include: 1. A model of a torso mimicking anat ...

Despite the large number of procedural simulation models currently available, there is a definite need for low cost anatomical training models with integrated sensors capable of recording the location and pressure measurements of a user"s performance in training of cuts, and sutures. A paradigm shift in medical training is possible if sensors can either be fabricated independently and embedded int ...
