Medics will use End User Devices (EUD) to capture electronic medical data on casualties treated at the point of injury and during enroute casualty evacuation. In order to facilitate the input of medical information, medics will use the Voice-to-Text techn

To address the DHP need for a novel self-propelled tick collection device that is capable of operating in diverse habitats under various environmental conditions, Physical Optics Corporation (POC) proposes to develop a new Multifunctional Automated Tick-Collection Rover (MATR) based on a novel system design, and mature COTS and in-house components. MATR is a configurable lightweight autonomous all ...

Nowhere are limitations in the Electronic Health Record (EHR) more evident than within the first critical periods of care (the golden hour)from injury presentation, primary survey, stabilization, secondary survey, transportation, triage, and medical facility admission. Despite the commencement of clinical care, EHR limitations prevent much of this information from being captured and shared. In mil ...

To address the CBDs need for a signal processing system designed to analyze and fuse data collected from chemical and biological sensors, Physical Optics Corporation (POC) proposes to further develop the Wavelet-Based Approach for Signal Processing and Analysis (WASP). WASP is based on novel application of Wavelet-based analysis to multimodal, multidimensional data available from a wide variety of ...

In previous R&D, the developers created codeSpark Academy, a game that employs a visual and block-based approach with puzzles to teach coding skills to students ages 5 to 9 years old. codeSpark Academy is in widespread use in and out of schools around the world. In this project, the developers will expand storytelling creative tools within the existing game. The pretend-play scenarios will include ...

The game, which is used by children alone or in tandem with a special education practitioner or caregiver, supports children in understanding and expressing musical patterns, and in learning to sing songs before speaking. This project will extend the existing version by developing a prototype that includes additional songs for increased speech-language learning outcomes, an animated onscreen singe ...

The team will develop a prototype of an immersive virtual reality experience for high school students to learn about the scientific processes and the biology of plants. The prototype will be designed to be multi-player where groups of students collaboratively conduct open-ended cross-breeding experiments, record images to export to reports, track and analyze data, and draw conclusions. At the end ...

Due to increasing concerns over long-term effects of PFOS and PFAS on human body, health based values were set by regulatory authoritative bodies for drinking water standard. Currenty lab-based PFOA and PFOS water tests cost $200-$300 per sample with a turnaround time of 2-3 weeks. In this program, 2W iTech LLC proposes to develop a low-cost fieldable sensing technology for detecting trace amounts ...

This proposal addresses the need for a pre-treatment technology to remove per- and poly- fluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) from industrial wastewaters. Phase I involves the design, build and testing of a novel technology to remove PFAS from water, termed the Aqueous Electrostatic Concentrator (AEC). This technology will be tested as an electrical bench-scale device that concentrates PFAS through selec ...

Stormwater management is a growing challenge across the country. Water quality standards are becoming increasingly strict as new regulations are developed at the state level. Meanwhile, changing land use and greater urbanization make meeting these standards even more difficult. Currently, stormwater samples are collected in the field and analyzed in the lab, a process which is time-consuming, cost ...
