9:30Charles L. Geraci, Jr., Ph.D., CIH, National Institute for Occupational Safety and HealthAssociate Director for NanotechnologyNational Institute for Occupational Safety and HealthDoyle [email protected] NIOSH Nanotechnology Research Program: The need for Advanced Sensors for Worker Exposure Evaluation and ProtectionCONFIRMEDSent bio, hs, and summary513-533-8339YESThe National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) is the lead agency within the US National Nanotechnology Initiative (NNI) charged with occupational safety and health research as part of the US goal for responsible development of nanotechnology. The NIOSH program is a broad research effort intended to explore the possible worker implications and applications of nanotechnology. Evaluating potential health impacts of worker exposure to nanomaterials relies heavily on measurements that could be improved dramatically by advances in sensor technology: environmental and biological. Worker safety would also benefit from more advanced sensor systems that could provide information on the performance of protective clothing and equipment. This presentation will provide an overview of the NIOSH program and the role sensor technology will play.YESYESYESYES
10:00Jason Marsh, NextFlex CMSGTAir Force Materiel CommandLaura ReaFHE ManufacturingCONFIRMEDExpanding the scope of USAF applications beyond the cockpit, CMSGT Nixon, and other representatives from AFMC, will discuss environmental and operational situations on the flight line, within the security forces, and in the realm of the nuclear mission, which could benefit from advanced human performance monitors.

10:45Dr. Douglas Casa, University of Connecticut, Korey Stringer InstituteUniversity of Connecticut, Korey Stringer InstituteAzar [email protected] During Physical Activity in the Heat- How Can Technology Help?CONFIRMEDSent bio, headshot, talk title & abstractYESThe ability of a soldier, athlete, or laborer to thrive during intense exercise in the heat is directly related to their ability maximize exercise heat tolerance. The process of enhancing exercise heat tolerance brings together a myriad of factors such as fitness, hydration, heat acclimatization, core temperature tracking, sleep, body cooling, and many other issues. The advancements in portable/wearable/field expedient tracking/monitoring devices have allowed for an enhanced preparation and performance when intense exercise needs to be conducted in hot conditions. The challenge ahead is real time assessment of hydration and body temperature in a convenient fashion for the equipment laden individual.YESYESYES
11:15Dr. William Casebeer, Lockheed Martin Advanced Technology Labs (form. AF & DARPA)Lockheed Martin Advanced Technology Labs (form. AF & DARPA)Jeff [email protected] Interpretation: Understanding Blood, Sweat, Tears and Human PerformanceCONFIRMEDSent bio, hs, title & abstractYESAssessing the meaning of data collected by physiologic sensors is difficult. Here, I discuss the need for coevolution between sensor development and novel techniques for interpreting data in near-real time so that it can be used for performance assessment and improvement in human-machine teams.YESYESYESYES
11:45Gaurav N. Pradhan, Ph.D, Mayo Clinic, AZAssociate Professor of MedicineMayo [email protected]@mayo.eduApplication of Eye Tracking and Galvanic Vestibular Inputs for Tracking and Enhancing Human PerformanceCONFIRMED - wants a spot earlier in your program (Moved from 2:20)Sent title, abstract, headshots & biosYESThe work environment for operators in the Aerospace and Defense Arena have become increasingly more focused on sophisticated and highly dynamic visual inputs. This very fact offers the opportunity to assess cognitive status of the operator by virtue of noncontact monitoring of surrogate measures of performance such as eye tracking parameters (measured via infrared light). Eye tracking allows for the derivation of performance patterns, that can be identified and then can serve as a warning to the operator should cognitive compromise/decline due to a variety of factors such as hypoxia, fatigue, concussion, drug effect or other factors occur.Our laboratory has studied the effects of hypoxia and concussions on eye tracking performance building upon a modification of the King Devick test.Another important consequence of highly dynamic visual inputs in the work environment, especially in simulation and remote monitoring, is the inherent conflict between the rich visual stimulating input and a lacking corresponding inner ear input resulting in simulator sickness or virtual reality sickness.The application of galvanic vestibular stimulation (GVS) can be a valuable physiologic resynchronization with what the human body expects and hence mitigate the potential motion sickness and performance degradation.YES
12:15Lunch
1:15Dr. Pete Demitry, Form. AFRL - Surgeon General OfficeForm. AFRL - Surgeon General OfficeLaura [email protected] for Bio MarkersCONFIRMEDSent bio, headshot, talk title, abstractYESThis presentation will address end user requirements and attributes for discussed biomarker solutions from the speaker's perspective. The objective is to provide industry with understanding and rationale for the various configurations based on final field applications so that they are confident in extrapolating and being able to align with operational requirements as researched by the speaker.YES
1:45Dr. Christian Whitchurch, Defense Threat Reduction AgencyERROR:#REF!Elizabeth to reach out for confirmation(4-20-16) / Laura Rea reach out [email protected] Host-Based Threat Exposure MonitoringCONFIRMED Sent title, abstract, LOAYESTwo technologies are rapidly converging: wearable technologies for health/physiology monitoring, and biomarker discovery for exposure/infection. Progress here predicts development of a wear-and-forget, host-based sensor suite that continually monitors the warfighter for signs of infection or exposure to a range of threats that degrade health and performance. The DTRA initiative aims to develop a suite of wear-and-forget sensors capable of recognizing and tracking physiological signs of infection, injury or insult prior to the onset of mission disruptive symptoms. This is not intended to be a specific diagnostic, but rather a cue for testing (data rich check engine light) aiding in health tracking of individuals, units, and populations. This S&T approach will exploit biotech, system autonomy, miniaturization, big data, and advanced manufacturing industries. Such a capability would facilitate pre-symptomatic detection of threats to force readiness, thus enabling rapid countermeasure deployment and associated reduction in rate of spread of infectious disease, leading to accelerated defeat of disease outbreaks, decreased health costs, and the preservation of force strength. YESYES
2:15Jeffery A SteevenJeffrey A Steevens, Ph.D., US Army Engineer Research & Development Centers, Ph.D.Senior Scientist (ST)US Army Engineer Research and Development Center - Environmental LaboratoryDoyle [email protected] Risk-Based Framework to Guide the Safe and Rapid Development of Army NanotechnologiesCONFIRMEDSent bio, headshot, title & abstract601-634-4199YESA risk-based framework was developed by USACE to classify nanotechnologies and guide the collection of data to support an assessment of environmental health and safety of technologies that employ engineered nanoparticles. The Nano Guide for Risk Informed Deployment (Nano GRID) is a 5 tiered process to guide the collection of exposure and effects data balancing the cost of the data collection with the value of the information; ultimately supporting regulatory and business decision-making. The goal of this tiered screening guidance is to guide the generation of relevant, nano-specific data, as well as provide information with respect to data collection methods, and when sufficient data have been collected. In addition to the decision framework, ERDC is developing a series of test protocols to support the data requirements identified in the framework. The utility of the framework and protocols will be described for several Army technologies that are in development.YESYESYES

These wearable devices are designed to measure multiple human performance-based metrics via built-in and/or external sensors, continuously. As such, they offer much as a personal measure to relative health. While these consumer devices mature and the next generation of devices make their way to market, vis--vis lower-complexity flexible designs, perspiration sensors, and much more, will they offer more than just a relative health assessment by the user? Will they be able to convey objective information en masse to measure the subtler aspects of health versus disease in large epidemiology cohorts, give clinicians the ability to measure patient fatigue during treatment, or more? This talk will focus on several large scale initiatives at the National Institutes of Health and attempt to chart the path forward relative to these questions.YESYESYES
