GDF-Medical Products and Support System Development
Abstract
Guidance for Development of the Force-Medical Products and Support Systems Development: Activities conducted in this project are intended to support system development and demonstration prior to initial full rate production and fielding of commodities. Medical products and support systems development is managed by the following Joint Program Committees (JPCs). 1- The Medical Simulation and Information Sciences JPC seeks to improve military medical training through informatics based training and education. This involves simulation, educational gaming, and health-focused and objective training metrics. Within this JPC, the Combat Casualty Training Initiative supports the testing and evaluation of innovative medical simulation technologies with the goal of improving healthcare access, availability, continuity, cost effectiveness, quality, and patient safety through improved decision-making. 2 - The Military Operational Medicine JPC supports the testing and evaluation of real-time physiological (normal function of living organisms and their parts) status monitoring in order to provide actionable patient information. 3- The Combat Casualty Care JPC seeks Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval of methods, drugs and devices through human clinical trials. Within this JPC, advanced product development to improve the quality of care is ongoing within the areas of hemorrhage, shock, and coagulopathy of trauma. In addition, the traumatic brain injury (TBI) neurotrauma and brain dysfunction area is validating TBI therapeutics and testing new imaging techniques, battlefield devices for operational decision making, and behavioral physiologic assessment tools for mild TBI. 4- The Clinical Rehabilitation Medicine JPC seeks FDA approval of fast-acting, easily dispensed oral battlefield pain management products that have minimal side effects.
