Abstract: The overall objective of this SBIR project is to develop and demonstrate a modeling and simulation-based technology, capable of running on a handheld device, which provides an overview of health status, pre- and/or post- injury, to medical information consumers within and outside military medical channels. The developed technology will be demonstrated on a very common injury type, i.e. blast and ballistic injuries. In Phase I, a limited prototype Medical Informatics Decision Assistance and Support (MIDAS) system will be developed and tested to determine the feasibility of the overall project. In Phase II, we plan to develop the overall MIDAS system and demonstrate for blast/ballistic injuries including traumatic brain injury. In Phase III, we plan to transition this technology to the Marine Corps for their use.
Benefits: This technology will have broad application in commercial as well as military settings. It will provide military medical practitioners across the healthcare treatment continuum with tools to better understand the medical status of a patient, in order to easily include treatment and diagnosis approaches, and to develop effective courses of action which will significantly improve their performance and increase the rates of survivability for wounded warfighters. Commercially, this technology enables similar types of improvements in emergency rooms, trauma centers, and medical emergency responders.
