Biomonitoring Technologies

The Biomonitoring Technologies portfolio invests in the development and integration of systems and/or platforms of mobile technologies that will enable wireless and/or remote monitoring of a person's health and/or environment including but not limited to physiological status from the battlefield to the hospital to the home, a continuum of care. Advances in the science and engineering have enabled gathering of medical and/or environmental information through sensors and diagnostic tools and transmission of data through wireless technologies. The next step is to take advantage of these advancements by integrating these various technologies together and incorporating computer algorithms to develop decision support tools that will improve medical treatments, enhance first response, and/or mitigate risks. Thus, the vision is a suite of tools that will enable a provider to give an immediate and appropriate treatment and/or response, thereby improving health, clinical, and/or economic outcome. These tools may include point of care medical technologies as well as smart remote monitoring devices with built-in alerts and automated medical responses.
