Secondary injuries including pressure-induced skin and soft tissue injury (PSSTI) and hypothermia complicate care for wounded soldiers starting from point of wounding up through higher levels of care. A transport pad capable addressing secondary injuries

In operational medicine, DHA continues to face challenges in documenting patient treatments at the point of injury in Theater, through moving records with the patient back to Garrison. The challenge includes: 1) the documentation and capture of data el

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

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

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

Current balance and gait assessment practices in field environments lack adequate sensitivity to measure subtle but potentially duty-limiting deficits in Service Member (SM) performance. Clinicians endeavor to provide timely, evidence-based assessment of

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

To provide better healthcare to PTSD patients, there is a strong need to develop a powerful PTSD CDSS based on evidence-based treatment strategies, acting as an anytime virtual assistant for PTSD professionals, Primary Care Physicians (PCP) and residents. To address this critical need, Intelligent Automation, Inc., proposes to develop an innovative Virtual PTSD Clinical Assistant with Cloud Comput ...

Civilian and military organizations throughout the world perform surveillance to combat vector-borne disease. Of particular concern to the U.S. military are mosquito genera Anopheles, Aedes and Culex, which are important vectors for malaria, dengue and West Nile virus respectively, and sand fly genera Phlebotomus and Lutzomyia, both vectors for leishmaniasis. The trap most commonly used for by U.S ...

Current therapies to prevent scar formation and contracture of burns are minimally effective. QuickMed Technologies (QMT) proposes to develop an advanced therapy to enhance healing and prevent contraction of burn scars by combining the advanced prototype BURN-PLUS dressing with Endoform dermal template. BURN-PLUS is an occlusive island dressing with an adhesive apron bonded onto a super absorben ...
