Cambridge Medical Technologies (CMT) is pioneering a transformative leap in combat casualty and critical care medicine with its advanced biosensor platform. Originally founded on research funded by DARPA, the Army Research Office (ARO), and Walter Reed Army Institute of Research, CMT’s mission has been clear from the start: develop non-invasive, real-time monitoring of blood chemistry for soldiers in the field. Their breakthrough technology samples subcutaneous interstitial fluid (ISF) painlessly and analyzes it outside the body for key biomarkers—starting with glucose and lactate, and now expanding to include blood pH. This innovation is especially critical in military medicine, where early detection of hemorrhagic shock, sepsis, and metabolic failure can mean the difference between life and death. Traditional vital signs like heart rate and blood pressure often fail to reveal the severity of internal injuries or compensated shock. CMT’s biosensor platform fills this gap by continuously tracking biochemical indicators that reflect tissue perfusion (lactate), acid-base status (pH/base deficit), and stress response (glucose). These metrics are widely recognized in both civilian and military clinical guidelines as essential for guiding resuscitation and predicting outcomes. Unlike conventional blood tests that require invasive sampling and lab processing, CMT’s devices—such as the LabPatch and LabClasp—use a proprietary method to extract ISF through the skin without needles. Within seconds, they deliver accurate readings of lactate and glucose, with pH integration underway. This allows medics and clinicians to monitor trends in real time, enabling faster, more informed decisions during trauma care, sepsis management, and evacuation triage. For combat medics operating in austere environments, this technology is a game-changer. A wearable patch could continuously stream vital biochemical data from a wounded soldier to a handheld device, alerting caregivers to rising lactate or falling pH before traditional signs deteriorate. In emergency departments and ICUs, the same platform could reduce reliance on repeated blood draws, improve response times, and enhance patient outcomes. CMT’s work aligns directly with the goals of the Department of Defense’s Advanced Medical Monitor (AMM) initiative under the Medical Technology Enterprise Consortium (MTEC). As future combat operations are expected to produce mass casualties and strain medical resources, integrating biochemical monitoring into standard vital sign systems is no longer optional—it’s urgent. CMT’s technology offers a scalable, field-ready solution that brings ICU-level insight to the point of injury. In summary, CMT is redefining how we monitor and manage shock and sepsis in both military and civilian care. By combining non-invasive ISF sampling with rapid, multi-analyte analysis, their platform empowers caregivers with the data they need—when and where they need it most.

Cellphire Therapeutics' vision is that no-one should die from controllable hemorrhage. In the US, hemorrhage remains a leading cause of preventable death for those under 45. For this reason, we need new products with improved hemostatic efficacy and ensure they are in the hands of clinicians when they are needed. The extremely short shelf-life – 7 days max – of platelets used as the standard of care Liquid Stored Platelets (LSP) gives rise to an inability to create an inventory buffer to address any increase in demand, particularly mass casualty events, military conflicts or significant hemorrhage situations such as post-partum hemorrhage and traumatic injury. This means: 1) Platelet rationing occurs across the system. 2) Nearly 400,000 platelet units a year expire before they can get to a patient in need. 3) Ten million Americans on anti-platelet or anticoagulant medications face greater risks when effective therapies aren’t available to clinicians, complicating surgery and trauma care.
