9. Background:

This is a new requirement for PEO Soldier. SMD requires a Medical Trauma Sensor (MTS) device that is designed to address critical challenges in mass casualty and austere deployment environments. By providing near real-time analysis of a casualty’s hemodynamic status and displaying it to medical providers, the MTS will help improve triage accuracy, optimize medical supplies, and enhance treatment outcomes. The Medical Trauma Sensor’s role in maximizing Return to Duty (RTD) while reducing the burden on contested logistics could be a significant advancement in military medical operations.

10. Objective and Purpose/Scope:

PEO Soldier, SMD PMO has a requirement to identify and procure a Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved MTS that will detect a patient’s hemodynamic status and convert it in real time into easily interpretable data, to enhance the provider’s visibility of all casualties under their care. The MTS will communicate the patient’s hemodynamic status to the end user device via near field communication or peer-to-peer file transfer.

The sensor will demonstrate the ability to communicate patient information quickly, accurately, and securely to electronic health record devices, relying on the systems and devices that make up the Integrated Tactical Network (ITN).
