Background/History of the Laboratory:

The Telemedicine and Advanced Technology Research Center (TATRC), a subordinate element of the United States Army Research and Materiel Command (USAMRMC), is charged with managing core Research Development Test and Evaluation (RDT&E) and congressionally mandated projects in telemedicine and advanced medical technologies. To support its research and development efforts, TATRC maintains a productive mix of partnerships with federal, academic, and commercial organizations. TATRC also provides short duration, technical support (as directed) to federal and defense agencies; develops, evaluates, and demonstrates new technologies and concepts; and conducts market surveillance with a focus on leveraging emerging technologies in healthcare and healthcare support. Ultimately, TATRC's activities strive to make medical care and services more accessible to soldiers, sailors, marines, and airmen; reduce costs, and enhance the overall quality of military healthcare.

Mission of the Laboratory:

The USAMRMC's telemedicine program, executed by the TATRC, applies medical expertise, advanced diagnostics, simulations, and effector systems integrated with information and telecommunications enabling medical assets to operate at a velocity that supports the requirements of the Objective Force. The program leverages, adapts, and integrates medical and commercial/military non-medical technologies to provide logistics/patient management, training devices/systems, collaborative mission planning tools, differential diagnosis, consultation and knowledge sharing. These capabilities enhance field medical support by improving planning and enabling real time what-if analysis. Specifically, this program will:
  • Reduce medical footprint and increases medical mobility while ensuring access to essential medical expertise & support Incorporate health awareness into battlespace awareness
  • Improve the skills of medical personnel and units
  • Improve quality of medical/ surgical care throughout the battlespace
