EVRYTHNG INC. — Department of Defense SBIR Phase I: N204-A02

Description

Global crises such as pandemics or natural disasters present a direct threat to US Navy operational readiness by impacting Navy personnel and the delivery of the medical supplies and patient care that supports them. Our proposal, based on technology from EVRYTHNG, would allow the US Navy to seamlessly fuse medical manufacturing, distribution, and patient care in a platform that digitizes billions of discrete physical items, and converts each one into a gateway for task-specific digital interaction by humans and automated sensors. The accumulated data is used to power dashboards covering both supply chain and patient care use cases. The project will demonstrate the above through a specific example: the digitization and employment of COVID-19 test kits. Such a capability would safeguard Navy operational readiness against COVID-19 by allowing command to ensure adequate supply of test kits by location, and facilitating a continuous, massively scaled virus testing program through digital result capture and real time test vs. infection reporting in forward deployment areas. The platform and core technology concepts are already proven commercially with multiple manufacturers. This project would further enhance and customize the EVRYTHNG solution for the US Navy’s specific goals in Digital Logistics for Patient Care.
