Blood Logistics Integrity | Security (BLIS): A Comprehensive Prehospital Blood Logistics Solution for Post-Crash Care Enhancement

BLIS creates a reliable, scalable prehospital blood/biologic supply chain to support EMS/First Responders for steady-state operations, public health emergencies, and military large scale combat operations. BLIS collects whole blood for the Armed Services Blood Program (ASBP), who manages this newly-created Prehospital Blood Supply (pBS) for distribution to military and civilian EMS. Phase II advances prototypes and integration for: BLIS Label with embedded sensors for real-time temperature control; BLIS Data & Inventory Management System - secure platform for end-to-end tracking and predictive analytics; BLIS Containers - energy-efficient, durable, reusable units maintaining optimal blood/biologic temperatures; and multimodal delivery to EMS/First Responders including (future) drone. The goal is to demonstrate the technical feasibility and operational concepts of BLIS, short of formal FDA/FAA approval processes, to enhance emergency response capabilities and improve patient outcomes.
