Investing.com -- BAE Systems (LON:BAES) (LON:BA) has been selected by the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) to continue developing technology that improves battlefield medical care for wounded service members.
The company will further develop and support deployment of the Battlefield Assisted Trauma Distributed Operations Kit (BATDOK®) through the new Force Optimization through Rapid-prototyping, Gear Enhancements & Innovative Technology (FORGE-IT) program.
BATDOK® is an AFRL application developed with BAE Systems’ support that creates electronic records of injuries and treatments from the point of injury through recovery. This replaces the traditional paper-based recording system used for battlefield medical care.
The FORGE-IT program will enhance BATDOK® by adding remote patient monitoring capabilities and improving field medical care through clinical decision support with embedded artificial intelligence.
"At BAE Systems, our goal has always been to protect those who protect us," said Nathaniel Wiesner, vice president and general manager of Ground Systems & Services for BAE Systems Space & Mission Systems. "Through projects like FORGE-IT, we’re augmenting the abilities of our nation’s warfighters to provide critical medical care in high-threat scenarios and ensure that those who are wounded are given effective treatment in the field."
Data collected by these systems will be integrated into the Department of Defense’s Joint Operational Medicine Information Systems (JOMIS) care delivery platform, which provides comprehensive health services for U.S. Armed Forces patients in deployed and home station medical facilities.
This integration aims to help clinicians deliver effective care while ensuring proper documentation of service members’ injuries throughout their treatment journey.
