SBIR Opportunity Analysis

The U.S. Air Force is seeking a Direct-to-Phase-II SBIR solution to develop a quantitative, evidence-based tool for rapidly assessing low back and neck impairment and improving operational readiness and patient outcomes. The work calls for a portable software-and-hardware prototype that can collect sensor data, automate processing, incorporate biopsychosocial measures, and provide actionable reports for both operational and clinical users. The solution must be easy for minimally qualified personnel to use, compatible with Air Force IT environments, support online and offline operation, and be designed for future HIPAA/EHR integration and IL-5 cybersecurity needs. It must also meet stated validation targets, including high kinematic measurement accuracy and reliability, and be verified and validated under an FDA-compliant quality system as it moves toward regulatory clearance. Applications are due by June 24, 2026 at 4:00 PM UTC.
