GDF Applied Biomedical Technology
Abstract
Guidance for Development of the Force - Applied Biomedical Technology: Applied Biomedical Technology Research will focus on refining concepts and ideas into potential solutions to military problems and conducting analyses of alternatives to select the best potential solution for further advanced technology development. Applied research will be conducted in the general categories of trauma, polytrauma and blast injury, rehabilitation, diagnosis and treatment of brain injury, radiation countermeasures, operational health and performance, and psychological health and well-being for military personnel and families. Applied research in traumatic brain injury (TBI) focuses on diagnosis and treatment, disentanglement of combat stress injuries, and TBI in evaluations, and clinical management. Trauma, polytrauma and blast injury applied research focuses on control of bleeding, tissue viability, diagnosis and life support, craniomaxillofacial (head, neck, face, and jaw) injury, evacuation applications and practices, forward surgical applications, blast injury models and performance standards for protection systems, blast induced brain injury models, diagnostics and metrics for hearing loss and protection, blast exposure and breaching, scar contracture (tightening of muscle, tendons, ligaments or skin that prevents normal movement), treatment of ocular and visual system traumatic injury, rapid screening of fresh whole blood, wound infection prevention and management, and antimicrobial (a substance that kills or inhibits the growth of microorganisms) countermeasures.
