In order to meet the Defense Health Agencys need for addressing the prevention of secondary brain injury from moderate, severe and penetrating traumatic brain injury (TBI), ChromoLogic proposes to develop a cerebral trauma recovery (CereTRec) drug delivery system. In particular, CereTRec aims to treat TBI during prolonged field care (PFC) to stabilize casualties who sustain a moderate-severe TBI. ...

Defense Health Program (DHP) seeks to develop a new and innovative point of injury device to manage patients with moderate-to-severe Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI). Critical Innovations, NeoMatRx, and KARA & Associates, with consultants Captain David Plurad, MD, FACS (USN, Ret.) and neurosurgeon Michael Levy, MD, PhD., have formed a team of medical device, trauma, and neurosurgical experts to addres ...

The objective of project is to develop a solution that allows doctors, nurses, medics and other healthcare providers to interact with the Electronic Health Record (EHR) in a hands-free manner, while keeping hands completely free to work with patients. Tod

The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimate that, on average, approximately 15,000 workers each year in the U.S. suffer respiratory diseases caused by toxic agents in the air. As engineered materials become more dominant in construction of homes, offices and industrial buildings, the potential increases for deleterious solvent, plasticizer, and adhesive vapors infiltrating th ...

Toyon Research proposes to develop a Thermal Desorption tube sampling system, capable of meeting the requirements stated in the project solicitation: a programmable interface that allows adjusting sampling system operation in situ; a mechanical design that supports replacing used tubes to support indefinite sampling periods; and an approach for receiving trigger signals from a real-time sensor. Ba ...

The DOD has a need for surgery and procedural training models, which have a high degree of realism and functionality with synthetic skin, muscle, vessels, adipose, and connective tissue. The 3D printing of synthetic tissues enables such models to be fabricated customized to particular situations (i.e. unique anatomy, bone fracture, or condition) and with lower cost than conventional methods. Inco ...

In order to meet Defense Health Agencys need for anatomically correct, self-healing, synthetic tissues for surgical training, ChromoLogic proposes to develop synthetically formulated anatomically correct tissues (SYNFACT). Surgical training models will be selected for fabrication on the SYNFACT system GUI and fabricated on site. SYNFACT surgical training models will self-heal between uses for reus ...

Leveraging on our expertise in electro-opto-mechanical device development and system integration (hardware and software), Hitron Technologies Inc. (HTI) proposes to develop an autonomous solution tentatively named Tick Collection Robot (TiCoBot). The TiCo

To address the DHA need for a new treatment approach for osteochondral defects that is able to conform to a wide range of complex geometries, Physical Optics Corporation (POC) proposes to develop a new Conformable Orthopaedic Repair Approach (CORA). It is based on minimally invasive delivery of a gel that can be stabilized in situ at the defect site. Specifically, the innovation in our approach is ...

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 ...
