7. Telemedicine and Advanced Medical Technology Program Mission
Apply physiological and medical knowledge, advanced diagnostics, simulations, and effector systems integrated with information and telecommunications for the purposes of enhancing operational and medical decision-making, improving medical training, and delivering medical treatment across all barriers.
The program scope is to identify, explore, and demonstrate key technologies and biomedical principles required to overcome technology barriers that are both medically and militarily unique.
8. As documented in the Joint Warfighting Science and Technology Plan, this will be achieved by developing and integrating technology in 3 Operational Capability Areas:
Joint Medical Readiness
Battlespace Medical Awareness
Effective Employment of Medical Forces
Each of these areas is further supported by subordinate Operational Capability Elements, and operationalized by investments in specific functional capability R&D programs.

10. The U.S. Army Medical Research and Materiel Command (USAMRMC), Telemedicine and Advanced Technology Research Center (TATRC) focuses on:
- Accelerated R&D Life Cycle Management
- Rapid Prototyping of High Potential Candidate Technologies
- End State Demonstration, Validation & Technology Exploitation
Today, I am going to tell you a story. Actually a story of 9 technologies that have recently passed through this process. Each is different. They range from handheld, wireless devices to medical simulators to telepresence systems that transmit images, vital signs and video in the theater of battle, in ambulances or in a disaster.
These are not only stories of cutting edge medical technology. But, also cutting edge strategies for:
- public/private partnering
- academic, industry and government collaboration
- and end users embedding in the R&D process
In the end, I want to share with you a system of integrated approaches, that we think, allow for more rapid adaptation to changing medical conditions, while reducing the “flash to bang” between concept exploration and definitive problem solving..

20. USAMRMC has made clear distinctions between what is medically unique and what is not in its core competency
In non-medical arenas we plan to reach out and develop partnerships in areas for which medical researchers lack core competency.
This is one reason why ATACCC is so important.

ATA Symposiums: EU (2001) – Africa (2002) - Latin America (2003) We also maintain a robust set of International Partnerships. These allow us not only to transfer useful technology and knowledge to our international partners, but to learn from them in areas in which their competency exceeds ours.
Examples of partnerships include Congressionally directed efforts working with Norway in the development of high speed, handheld wireless medical digital assistants and landmine victim assistance distance learning programs in Central America and extending this year into Afghanistan managed by the Center for International Rehabilitation.
We also host foreign officers for training in telemedicine and advanced medical technology, at this conference I am joined by two of guests – both physicians from Pakistan.
In addition we sponsor, in conjunction with the ATA, an international telemedicine forum each year, this year focusing on Latin America and the Caribbean, and next year on Eastern Europe.We also maintain a robust set of International Partnerships.

Clinical Insertion
Economic /Regulatory
Industrial Involvement
These barriers can be rapidly overcome by:
- Systematic Culture Blending
- Committed Experts
- Individualized Facilitation
