The U.S. Defense Health Agency (DHA) awarded a $1,300,000.00 Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase II contract to Lumenastra, a for-profit small business organization, to develop a wireless, non-invasive core temperature sensor. This firm-fixed-price contract, set to run until October 2026, aims to advance Lumenastra's wearable deep tissue temperature monitoring technology. The contract was designated as a total small business set-aside, highlighting Lumenastra's status as a small business in the federal contracting landscape. Prior to this award, Lumenastra received a $250,000.00 SBIR Phase I contract from the Army Medical Command for the same technology, as well as several grants from the National Science Foundation totaling over $1.2 million to support the development of this wearable, non-invasive device for measuring deep tissue and internal organ temperatures.
