Public Profile

B3 is structured around creating reliable, innovative devices to alert potential brain injury resulting from concussive encounters - providing medical personnel with digital information better to understand the concussive event - thereby enabling faster and more accurate treatment. Data suggests there is a significant need for measurement devices to aid in Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) and concussion triage, treatment and research: Among active duty military personnel, explosive blasts are a leading cause of TBI. The Defense and Veterans Brain Injury Center indicates over 200,000 service members having sustained a Traumatic Brain Injury in the period 2000-2013 alone. previously, measuring exposure to events linked to TBI has been extremely difficult. According to the Center for Disease Control study some years ago, TBI had been an important public health problem with over 1.7 million people sustaining a traumatic brain injury each year and is contributing factor to a third (30.5%) of all injury-related deaths: 52,000 die, 275,000 are hospitalized, and 1.365 million, nearly 80%, are treated and released from an emergency department. BlackBox Biometrics Inc research and products had been focused on measuring and recording traumatic events for explosions, falls and contact with objects, providing unique solutions with data correctness and sensing accuracy, that enable better methods of recognition, assessment and treatment. Company was engaged with DOD to expand deployment of this revolutionary solution to the way they monitor explosive blasts and recognize warfighter exposure and potential for Traumatic Brain Injury. - the intent being enhancement of the technical and operational capability to develop and deploy custom devices and data management solutions on a rapid accelerated curve, advancing this technology to support applications in military, security, sports, industrial, and health care markets.
