Integrated Warfighter Biodefense Program (IWBP)

Abstract

The aim of the Integrated Warfighter Biodefense Program (IWBP) is to develop innovative technology that can be deployed to prevent U.S. armed forces from becoming battle or non-battle casualties, and especially to reduce morbidity and mortality throughout the increasingly complex battlespace of current operations. In this summary of the next phase of work on IWBP we report on the continued development of data analysis software that addresses the complex challenges of large incomplete datasets such as those of sensor data environments, pharmacologic datasets for drug discovery, and electronic medical records targeted towards identification of optimal treatment strategies and adverse medical events. This technology allows for examination of large databases to identify relevant information that can be used as the basis for subsequent modeling and analysis. This technology supports analysis of large, diverse datasets aimed at Force Health Protection within the broader mission. Together, these tools can be used in a number of different modalities to support the broad capability of transforming increasingly more complex multi-source, multimodal data environments into actionable knowledge.
