An increasingly common military medical need is the need for in-the-field acquisition of symptomatology, differential diagnosis of diseases potentially previously unseen by the medical professional, and identification of symptoms to the population at large. This need suggests a combination of intelligent diagnostic decision aids and knowledge gathering agents overlaid onto a highly flexible physiologic sensor and advanced connectivity infrastructure accessible by cognitively overloaded or untrained users.

Archinoetics is collaborating with two other Hawaii-based companies, Referentia and Akimeka, for this Phase I SBIR from the Office of Naval Research (ONR). The project, called MedNet, will focus on the design of a deployable network of medical intelligence gathering and diagnostic assistance in the field.
