    2. The TATRC Technology Transfer Imperative Federal Technology Transfer Act passed in 1986 (PL 99-502) Encourages transfer of technologies to the private sector. Authorizes laboratories to assign or license inventions License inventions or intellectual property that may be voluntarily assigned to the Government. TATRC granted laboratory authority in 4th Quarter, FY 03 to facilitate: License Agreements CRADAs Materiel Transfer Agreements Etc. As a consequence, TATRC must appoint a Research Technology Applications Officer or (ORTA).

    3. FY 2004 TATRC Technology Transfer Initiative

    4. Technology Transfer Strategic “Snap” Study Conduct 90 day Strategic “Snap”study to document : “As-Is” Organizational Capabilities “To-Be” Requirements “Gaps” Between “As-Is” and “To-Be” States Action Plans to fill “Gaps” “RoadMap” of ORTA FY 04 Priorities and Timelines

    5. Preliminary Impressions… …“As-Is” Status 250 (+) Candidate Technology Projects Established Life Cycle Management Framework (I C M E O) Significant Number of Existing Public–Private Partnerships with impressive Technology Transfer Capabilities Sufficient Projected Funding to Support FY 2004 Initiatives

    6. Types and Quantity of TATRC Candidate Technology

    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. For example……(Cite specific linkages)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.

    9. 5 P’s of Precision Healthcare Scope of TATRC Functional Objectives

    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.

    21. Leverages… International Partnerships to Accelerate Development US/Norway Telemedicine (Wireless, Handheld) European Union Collaboration NATO – Telemedicine Standardization Committee South African Military Health Service (Peacekeeping) International Global Satellite System: Poland (CME) Landmine Victim Assistance: Central America > Afghanistan Partnership for Peace – Romanian Needs Assessment Pakistani Exchange Program Yuma Proving Ground - Panama Telemedicine South Korean Exchange Program 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.

    23. Examples of TATRC Partnerships with Significant Technology Transfer Capabilities

    24. As mentioned earlier USAMRMC generate these rapid prototypes by aggressively partnering with academia, industry and other government agencies in agreements managed by my Telemedicine and Advanced Technology Research Center (TATRC). Many of these relationships develop out of Congressionally directed programs, but an increasing number also involve Small Business Innovative Research (SBIR) and Small Business tech transfer research (STTR) programs.
