Wearable Sensors to Monitor Environmental and Occupational Impacts to Brain Health

The Department of Defense, specifically the Army, is seeking proposals for the development of wearable sensors designed to monitor environmental and occupational impacts on brain health, particularly in relation to blast exposure. The objective is to create a sensor that can measure 360-degree blast exposure, with capabilities for high sampling rates and reliable data transfer to a data repository, while also integrating with a user dashboard on Nett Warrior-enabled devices. This technology is crucial for personnel operating in high-risk environments, such as military operations involving explosives, and has potential applications in mining, law enforcement, and impact sports. Proposals for Direct to Phase II funding of up to $1,500,000 are due by April 23, 2025, with the project expected to culminate in a robust sensor system that meets military standards and provides comprehensive exposure data.
