Physiological events (PEs) are a major threat to life, mission, and aircraft. Insights gleaned from analyses of PEs and their outcomes could inform future command decisions and improve aviator training. PEs are currently documented via the aviator’s self-assessments of the events surrounding the PE. However, human memory is fallible, especially following a PE where neurocognitive function is com ...

Triton Systems will develop a hardened portable dry EEG device capable of monitoring the physiological state of aircrew in flight. The device is lightweight and integrated into existing aircrew flight equipment and capable of comfortable long-term use. When in use, the device will be able to reliably record and display interpretable neurological signals inside the flight environment without interf ...

Triton Systems Inc. (developer of medical devices and engineering systems, and an SBA Tibbetts Award Winner for Success in Commercializing SBIR derived technologies) proposes to design and develop a wound infection monitoring device (WIMD) for warfighters in potential prolonged care (PC), anti-access and area denial scenarios. Our device can detect the growth of infection and identify key aspects ...

Physical Sciences Inc. (PSI), in collaboration with Wayne State University (WSU), proposes to develop a low cost blast surrogate testing device that can be used to evaluate next generation personal protective equipment (PPE). New material advancements could be used to mitigate the blast wave through improved PPE design, but a more advanced test surrogate is needed to inform PPE design decisions. Â ...

Neck/back pain is a significant problem in aircrew of the US Navy (USN) and US Service Branches; prevalent across all platforms including fixed-wing ejection-seat (FWES), fixed-wing non-ejection-seat (FWNES), and rotary wing/tilt rotor (RW/TR). It accounts for an extensive burden in time and resources to the US and international partners in Europe. Triton Systems will design, build, and demonstrat ...

Triton proposes to design and develop an orthosis that adapts to facilitate recovery during rehabilitation for lower extremity injuries so that service members can return to duty. Using this device for the duration of the rehabilitation process is anticipated to result in improved outcomes, accelerated recovery times, and cost savings compared to the standard rehabilitation approach, which can inc ...

There are large numbers of workers and military personnel that are exposed to cold stress, creating the risk of freezing cold injuries, i.e., frostbite, a localized cold injury resulting from tissue freezing. Frostbite can occur at the cheeks, ears, nose, chin and groin. However, the most concerning is freezing injury to hands and feet since they are particularly vulnerable. Hands and feet become ...

The innovative product is for neck/back pain and is based on hardware (electrodes, micro-electronics, controller with on/off switch, and alkaline batteries) technology developed with software (algorithms and firmware). The solution embodies an innovative method utilizing functional electrical stimulation (FES). This product is specifically designed for: Neck/back pain during operational conditions ...

As reported by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, cold injuries, such as frostbite, trench foot, and frostnips, or cold-induced injuries, such as loss of cognition leading to falls, can happen to anyone exposed to cold temperatures. International Fabric Machines (IFM) has developed a wireless and battery-free functional-fiber fabric-based temperature sensing system (fID-T) that s ...

The purpose of this DHA SBIR topic is to use the latest AR technology to develop a medical training tool that is capable of 1) placing 3D virtual anatomical models with proper positions and orientations relative to physical manikins or task trainers; 2) displaying layer-by-layer 3D virtual models for anatomy training; 3) showing step-by-step 3D visual instructions for performing surgical procedure ...
