An innovative method is proposed for Analysis and Implementation of Real-Time Multi-Parameter Biological Data utilizing open file formats, a fuzzy inference system, Web access, and ultimately an information broker capable of incorporating other analysis modules in a "plug and play" fashion. Work currently being performed by GEO-CENTERS for U.S. Army Research Institute of Environmental Medicine (USARIEM) utilizes physiologic data in a universal time-tagged flat file structure being telemetered to a Web server. A data server running archive access software utilizing a Generic Query Language (GQL) allows accessibility to this data over the Web on any computer with a browser. Soldier physiological strain index is webcast and displayed in real-time. For SBIR OSD00-HP06, GEO-CENTERS proposes leveraging this existing work to allow Web-based data access to multi-parameter biological data. Existing GQL-based tools will be adapted to allow mining and viewing of multi-parameter biological data. A Fuzzy Inference System will be developed to detect developing toxic responses in real time with minimal false alarms. Resulting biological status will be calculated in real time and displayed within a web browser. Design will include ability for intelligent information broker capable of incorporating other analysis modules to be implemented in phase II.In this age of electronic media and rapid access to information many DOD research institutes do not have a central electronic means of sharing scientific data. The proposed work would provide for a powerful standardized way of archiving both experimental and real time data. The archiving methodology would be both extensible, easily maintainable and backwardly compatible. A plug and play information broker architecture is proposed which will facilitate the interface and interplay of independent models. This task would enable the production of a complete data management package. This package would provide a comprehensive solution for research institutes and other scientific organizations in the storage and retrieval of experimental data in electronic format.
