To address USSOCOMs need for an environmentally stable, rapid, portable comprehensive blood analyzer system, Physical Optics Corporation (POC) proposes to develop a new Integrated Paper-Based Microfluidic Blood Analyzer for use in Austere Environments (iBLAdE) based on electrochemical measurements of different panels of electrolytes, metabolites, blood gases, and blood typing antigens within a mic ...

A robust system level design process will be used to identify the design of transparent tapered resistive (TTR) elements, including the materials, fabrication processes, and lifecycle costs. The transparent tapered resistive film will be designed to provides a tapered resistive layer across the film while remaining transparent in the visual and near-infrared optical bands for use in radio-frequenc ...

Cornerstone Research Group Inc. (CRG) proposes to build on its successful Phase II demonstration of an engine-based, hybrid electric power system and integrated control architecture for SOCOM TALOS to develop and demonstrate an Integrated Battery Power Unit (IBPU) based solely on advanced battery technologies (LiPo, Li-Sulfur, Li-Air, etc.) and CRGs custom electronic control system CRGs IBPU will ...

TDA Research, Inc., a leading developer of specialty sorbents, will design and test sorbents for incorporation into passive dosimeter badges designed by a major dosimeter manufacturing company. For the past 15 years, wearable passive major dosimeter badges provided by our partner. have been used by crews of U.S. submarines to monitor exposure to chemical hazards, including many of concern in the s ...

The DOD is investing in mobile computing, information and warrior health systems to support network-centric military capabilities. Computerized health records, telemedicine, wearable monitoring, mHealth have the potential to reduce costs, promote health, ensure soldier fitness. The goal of this project is to design, develop, demonstrate, deploy a Warfighter Health Avatar (WHA), a simulation framew ...

Predictive medicine has considerable potential to improve clinical outcomes during the crucial minutes and hours immediately following combat trauma. There is a requirement for an avatar solution that serves a multitude of functions for predictive medicine in the battlefield and beyond, including digital health data warehousing and prediction of immediate and long-term outcomes associated with var ...

For this Phase I SBIR proposal, Vcom3D proposes to design an Advanced Female Trauma Training System that features the accurate representation of anatomical and physiological differences of the women in our nations armed forces, and of the types of injuries that they are most likely to sustain in combat. The training system will include a ruggedized medical manikin and a wireless tablet controller ...

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 ...

Despite recent tremendous leaps in the development of new technologies for image recording, presentation, manipulation, 3D capabilities, and analysis many vision exams are still performed using paper Snellen charts, paper color charts and Amsler grids. Current procedures are time consuming, labor intensive, potentially subject to transcription errors, and to test preparation or coaching, which may ...

To address the Defense Health Programs (DHPs) need for a rapid, point-of-care, comprehensive blood analysis device for diagnosis of Iron Deficiency (ID) and Iron Deficiency Anemia (IDA) in a training setting, Physical Optics Corporation (POC) proposes to develop a new Paper-based Integrated Microfluidic Hematology Analyzer (HemoPAD) for rapid point-of-care diagnosis of iron deficiency. HemoPAD is ...
