When Every Second Matters.
THE PROBLEM
The Future of Large-Scale Combat
Significant changes in traumatic brain injury (TBI) management will be essential over the next few years to align with the future vision of combat casualty care. Future combat scenarios will present new and complex challenges, including:
Multi-Domain Operations
Combat will span across air, land, sea, and even space, demanding a more versatile approach to casualty care.
Rapid, Mobile Engagements
Operations will be swift and mobile, leaving little time to set up large, stationary field hospitals.
Delayed Evacuations
Evacuating wounded personnel to higher levels of care may be delayed, requiring immediate, on-site solutions.
Overwhelming Casualty Numbers
Large-scale combat operations will cause high volumes of casualties, adding immense strain on existing medical resources.
Current methods of triaging suspected TBI will not be able to keep pace with the demands of future conflicts. A new approach is needed.
THE VISION
Artificial Intelligence in Combat Casualty Care
Leverage AI to alleviate the cognitive load of decision-making and triage from warfighters. Reducing human task burden will allow for faster and better decision-making.
THE SOLUTION
The TBI NavigatorTM
A groundbreaking mobile app offering clinical decision support for the assessment and management of acute brain injury in prehospital and hospital settings.
