Care for the wounded Warfighters in austere and remote settings makes medical knowledge, skills and efficiency of the military medical professional paramount. For wounds that extend deep into internal anatomy, proper visualization of internal anatomy can

To address the US Army’s need in novel toxicity sensing methods using a platform compatible with the Environmental Sentinel Biomonitor (ESB) for testing Army field water with the goal of increasing toxicant sensitivity and reducing consumable size and cos

Accurate, real-time kinematic, kinetic, and biomechanical data on warfighters performing complex tasks, collected for extended periods of time, have enormous potential benefits – they can be used to optimize warfighter physical performance, develop strate

The purpose of the MEDIC (Medic’s Enhanced Diagnostic Imaging Companion) system is to provide combat medics, via Augmented Reality (AR), a digitally-superimposed avatar representing the internal anatomy of their Warfighter patient. Phase I of this SBIR p

We propose to develop SmartPatient BOT driven by a continuous learning Natural Language Processing (NLP) Engine which can understand medical learner's questions in a natural conversation mode and provide responses from the medical simulator instead of int

We propose development of an AR system that allows the medical personnel to visualize the internal anatomy of a patient by projecting relevant anatomical information onto the patient directly into the field of view (FOV) of the medic. With no medical imag

Aret Associates and Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) propose an interdisciplinary effort to meet the challenges of developing a soil microbiome-based nuclear activity biomonitoring application. Our approach combines Arets expertise in decision theory and bioinformatics with ORNLs subject matter expertise in microbial ecology and contaminant signatures. We will adapt and extend our high featu ...

In prior research and development, the project team developed Woot Math, a web- and app-based mathematics intervention for algebra. With this Phase I funding, the team will develop and test a prototype of Woot Math Polls, an interactive formative assessment platform to facilitate teachers' real-time decision-making while students use Woot Math in the classroom. The prototype will allow teachers to ...

With this Phase I funding, the project team will develop and test a prototype of D-TECH, a system to determine students' level of academic engagement while completing computer-based learning activities and assessments. The prototype will integrate within existing third party computer-based programs (e.g., online courseware, educational games, simulations, intelligent tutors) and will consist of a ...

To address the DHP and USAMRMC need for a system to augment a dynamic 3D scene registration using augmented reality (AR) to provide anatomically accurate registration and overlays to aid in medical training, Physical Optics Corporation (POC) proposes to develop a new Educational Medical Simulation and Training Augmented-Reality (EMSTAR) tool. The tool is based on the unique combination of low-cost ...
