The Future of Battlefield Medicine

"WPI's Center for Untethered Healthcare builds upon more than a decade of work on wireless networking, noninvasive medical sensors, and advanced techniques for medical ultrasound, which Peder Pedersen, professor of electrical and computer engineering, has focused on for the past 15 years. To develop an ultrasound unit for the Army, Pedersen will begin with existing hardware and software, including a wearable personal computer and a Terason 2000 portable ultrasound scanner from Teratech Corp. The Terason is the only portable ultrasound unit currently on the market that runs on a regular PC, which will enable Pedersen to add his own enhancements."
