Transitioning the Defense Automated Neurobehavioral Assessment (DANA) to Operational Use

Abstract

This grant prepares DANA (Defense Automated Neurobehavioral Assessment), the next-generation neurocognitive assessment tool (NCAT), for transition into operational military use. DANA is a clinical decision support tool developed for and funded by the Department of Defense (DOD) for use in field and clinical settings. The effort is organized around two foci science and transition. The science concentrates on CONUS-based studies such as testing DANA in clinical drug, fatigue/alertness, concussion and/or depression protocols. The second thrust, transition, includes obtaining FDA clearance for DANA (DOD has determined it is a medical device), and positioning DANA to be operationally deployed into the military.
