Open Call for Innovative Defense-Related Dual-Purpose Technologies/Solutions with a Clear Air Force Stakeholder Need

USAF Special Tactics and Battlefield Airmen Pararescue (PJs) medics have no reliable way to remotely consult with a Doctor or transmit critical patient data from the field to a higher echelon of care. The Virtual Exam Room (VER) telemedicine platform solves these problems, providing the ability to conduct a complete virtual exam of a patient anywhere on the globe while simultaneously transmitting and storing the diagnostic data. With some additional COTS modifications requested by existing AF PJ customers, the VER can become a complete Critical Care Platform. In tight collaboration with Air Force partners and internal customers and to help enable full-spectrum readiness, Remote Health Solutions (RHS) will develop and produce a new version of its product line specifically for remote care of trauma patients: the VER-CCP (Critical Care Platform). Enhancements to the existing COTS VER devices were requested by AF PJs in order to provide additional critical care capability for trauma patients, enhance overall AF MedEvac capability, and capture/store patient data remotely. The existing VER device line is Technology Readiness Level 8/9 and has been well-received by the PJ community. See enclosed Letters of Support from AFSOC and ACC for further validation of this technology in solving AF problems.
