Description The Department of Defense (DoD) seeks commercial medical imaging solutions to integrate into the Tactical Combat Medical Care Set supporting far forward operations. The solution will be used to diagnose trauma and musculoskeletal injuries during multi-domain operations and prolonged care in austere field facilities, where size, weight, and power consumption are paramount considerations. The technology will allow diagnosis and triage closer to the point of injury giving medical providers better understanding of implications and indications to ensure the most effective treatment, avoid unnecessary evacuation, and increase productivity. The device will be utilized at Role of Care 1 and 2 facilities - highly mobile tents with minimally controlled climate and limited availability of space or power. Role 1 providers will be a physician, physician assistant, nurse practitioner or authorized provider with duties of primary healthcare, casualty collection, triage, first aid, stabilization, and evacuation. The goal of Role 1 is to stabilize and evacuate or make a determination to return to duty. Role 2 will include a physician and/or medical specialist providing advanced trauma management, primary care, and even preventative medicine with the ability to support casualties up to 72 hours in the field. |
