Applications
Where our sensors go
The same core sensing platforms, engineered for the environments where conventional monitoring breaks down.
One platform, many places
Most of our technologies go everywhere.
A sensor built for the bedside also flies, deploys and goes home. Hover a technology to trace where it is used.
Astronaut physiology
Spaceflight demands monitors that are light, low-power and reliable far from a clinic. We build wearable physiological monitoring for crew health and instrumentation that quantifies how astronauts load their hands during extravehicular activity. In February 2027, a chest-worn biosensor we built with Dr. Aaron Tranter at the Australian National University has been selected to fly to the International Space Station.

Warfighter physiology and readiness
Operational environments need rugged, low-power sensing that works through heat, motion and exertion. Our multimodal platforms track cardiovascular, thermal and neural signals for performance, triage and readiness: continuous physiological logging in the cockpit and on the flight line, early warning for heat illness and compensated shock, and rapid neural and cognitive baselines that make every later measurement meaningful.
Built for the whole force. Sensing is validated across skin tones and refined on female and male cohorts, and data leaves the device de-identified and encrypted, ready for enterprise systems such as MHS GENESIS. How we protect data →

Care without the clinic
Many communities are hours from a hospital. We design affordable, connected monitors and point-of-care diagnostics with cost and manufacturability in mind from day one.

Continuous at the bedside
Intermittent vitals miss what happens between checks. We develop continuous, cuffless blood pressure, temperature and hemodynamic monitoring, validated on our own anatomical phantoms before reaching patients.

Devices built for the smallest patients
Pediatric medical devices lag adult technology by about a decade. Through Texas A&M’s Engineered Solutions for Pediatric Devices program, supported by NIST and in collaboration with internationally recognized medical device innovator Dr. Balakrishna Haridas, a Fellow of the American Institute for Medical and Biological Engineering and the National Academy of Inventors and Deputy Executive Director of the FDA Southwest National Pediatric Devices Innovation Consortium, Dr. Taylor Ware, Janeen Judah ’81 Engineering Excellence Professor in Biomedical Engineering and Materials Science, and Senior Research Engineer Achu G. Byju, we are developing miniature sensorized catheters and anatomically accurate phantoms for minimally invasive fetal heart surgery, performed while the baby is still in the womb, alongside comfortable wearables that monitor infants’ heart rate, heart rate variability and blood pressure, and early-detection assays for expectant mothers.

What a crash does to the body
Vehicle crash tests measure the car. We are building remote IMU-based wearable monitoring that measures the person, quantifying impact forces and occupant motion to connect crash simulation with what actually happens to the human body. This work is a new collaboration with the Texas A&M Transportation Institute (TTI).
