Description

TrellisWare Technologies, Inc. (TrellisWare) understands the importance of the ?Golden Hour?; that precious time between when traumatic injuries occur and when Level I medical care can be administered. A system that can virtually bring the physician?s eyes, ears and diagnostic equipment onto the battlefield at the point of injury (POI) can effectively extend that ?Golden Hour? and save lives. Key components of that system include a set of diagnostic sensors to monitor soldier biometrics, a secure means to access and view that sensor data, and a tactical network to transmit that data to remote doctors or commanders. With such a system is in place, the next logical step would be to move from diagnosing soldiers once a casualty has occurred to constantly tracking soldier?s biometrics in order to provide real-time health monitoring and casualty detection. In order to provide value on the battlefield, this advanced solution would need to simultaneously track and monitor squads or platoons of soldiers, and do so in harsh environments where typical radio communications typically fail. TrellisWare presently proposes to provide a technical solution that will meet the objectives of the advanced soldier biometric monitoring and tracking system described above.
