MediBioSense partners with MRIGlobal for Department of Defense health monitoring system

Doncaster, UK-based MediBioSense Ltd. [TTA 23 Jan, 17 Feb] is partnering with Kansas City’s MRIGlobal to develop a wireless health monitoring system for the US Department of Defense Combating Terrorism Technical Support Office (CTTSO). The limited information in the release indicates that the joint project will provide technology integration and development services for CTTSO. The system “will provide medical grade health monitoring data and allow for real-time decisions to protect health.”

MediBioSense is the developer of the monitoring platform for and global distributor of the VitalPatch, originally developed by VitalConnect. MRIGlobal is a contract research organization for government, academia, and industry that works in the areas of national security, defense, health, and energy. In health, they develop solutions in in vitro diagnostics, infectious diseases, and ‘global biological engagement.’

CTTSO’s website description: “Identify and develop capabilities to combat terrorism and irregular adversaries and to deliver these capabilities to DoD components and interagency partners through rapid research and development, advanced studies and technical innovation, and provision of support to U.S. military operations.”

Which makes this new development quite interesting in what the VitalPatch may be detecting–and possibly a little hush-hush!
