RFI-Advanced Medical Monitor (AMM) Development Efforts

Background
The Advanced Medical Monitor (AMM) is a medical device initiative led by the Defense Health Agency (DHA) Warfighter Expeditionary Medicine and Treatment (WEMT) Project Management Office (PMO).

The project aims to enhance decision support capabilities for medical providers at the Point of Injury (POI) during Large-Scale Combat Operations (LSCO), where casualty numbers are expected to be significant. The AMM will provide critical information for triage and treatment decisions, addressing the challenges posed by occult injuries that may not be immediately apparent. Current equipment lacks diagnostic capabilities in forward settings, making the AMM essential for improving casualty care and outcomes.

Work Details
The AMM project seeks to develop advanced physiological monitoring solutions that will:
1. Provide actionable information to enhance casualty triage and inform treatment and evacuation priorities.
2. Facilitate data transfer through various Roles of Care using Family of Systems (FoS) components, including the Next Generation Medical Monitor (NGMM) and Expeditionary Medical Monitor (EMM).
3. Ensure devices are small, lightweight, durable, and energy-efficient while being fully interoperable across Joint Services.
4. Reduce cognitive workload for medical providers in challenging environments by providing alerts for urgent cases and supporting data-sharing during patient transfers.
5. Meet FDA approval requirements and ensure airworthiness for devices used during patient movement.
6. Include two phases of development: Phase I focuses on obtaining prototypes for testing and evaluation, while Phase II involves further development based on Phase I results leading to full compliance for military deployment.
