Army Advanced Medical Technology Initiative (AAMTI) Program Seeks Innovative Proposals

[CC-Conrad Clyburn-MedForeSight]

Colleagues,

The U.S. Army Advanced Medical Technology Initiative (AAMTI) is seeking new proposals demonstrating the value of emerging health information technology and medical communications devices ...

... This program is open to U.S. Army Medical Department (AMEDD) personnel as Principal Investigators (PI)s only. However, collaboration with industry, academia, and other military services is permitted ...

... The AAMTI program, run by the U.S. Army Telemedicine and Advanced Technology Research Center (TATRC), FY 2011 Request for Submission System Policy and Procedures document can be found at: http://www.tatrc.org/?p=funding_aamtif  Pre- proposals are due August 29, 2010...

... The FY 2011 program seeks a broad range of medical informatics submissions to streamline and enhance the documentation of medical encounters, develop heterogeneous databases to be queried for research into evidence-based medicine, perform information analysis, and integrate speech recognition technology into the healthcare delivery environment...

Of particular interest are technologies to:

• Address medical issues associated with TBI/PTSD
• Technologies to improve education for both patients and providers
• Applications that use cell phones and other technologies to monitor patients
• Technologies that will enable medical care in remote and underserved populations
• Technologies reducing the administrative burden within the AMEDD
• Telesurgical applications to include real-time surgical consultations from overseas theatres and between AMEDD medical facilities

For more information on how the AAMTI program works, and possible coordination with AMEDD PIs, send a message to its director, MedTech-IQ member, John Winston at: http://medtechiq.ning.com/profile/JohnWinston?xg_source=profiles_me...


ENJOY!
