The Defense Healthcare Management Systems (DHMS) Program Executive Office delivers critical medical treatment IT solutions to all Military Health System beneficiaries, including those in military theater environments and remote operations throughout the garrison.

JOMIS had a critical need for a mobile platform that could provide the accurate and timely delivery of medical data to care providers and decision-makers in a military theater setting.

By using a progressive methodology for mobile platform and software development, we delivered solutions that met the dynamic needs of the DoD across multi-year missions. Now, electronic health records and other medical information can be transmitted from military theater and garrison repositories, guaranteeing the availability of critical medical data to care providers and decision-makers.

We ensured that as operational and military theater medicine systems are modernized, they synchronize and align with the electronic health records (EHR) system intrinsic in the Department of Defense (DoD) Healthcare Management System Modernization (DHMSM).

T2 leads the development of telehealth and technology solutions for the Department of Defense and its mission to be the Center of Excellence for identifying, treating, and minimizing the short- and long-term adverse effects of traumatic brain injury (TBI) and mental health conditions associated with military service.

Aware of the key challenges mobile apps posed for government agencies, T2 sought to leverage this evolving technology to create psychological health mobile applications that could be used anytime, anywhere to improve the lives of our nation’s service members and their families.

TIAG worked with T2 to build, design, test, and deploy a wide range of mobile apps. We leveraged an agile/waterfall hybrid process to give our team of experts the ability to continuously enhance and advance the functionality of T2’s cloud-connected, cross-platform mobile apps. This process, in combination with traditional milestone-driven software engineering strategies, resulted in mobile platforms that helped users self-identify PTSD and TBI-related symptoms and practice different methodologies to help mitigate their symptoms.

We developed more than 22 intuitive and easy-to-use applications for T2 since 2012. This work transformed how our nation’s warriors and their families are being treated for PTSD and TBI-related issues. From mind, body, and spirit-focused apps to others that contribute to a soldier’s overall health and resilience, these tools continue to positively impact lives today while protecting the data of those who serve our country.

USUHS educates, trains, and prepares uniformed services health professionals, officers, and leaders to provide direct support for the Military Health System, the National Security, and National Defense Strategies of the United States and the readiness of our armed forces. AFRRI strives to preserve and protect the health and performance of U.S. military personnel through research and training that advance understanding of the effects of ionizing radiation.

USUHS and AFRRI needed a mobile version of a radiological assessment triage tool based on recognized assessment and treatment principles that would enable radiological and nuclear emergency response professionals to triage suspected casualties.

We leveraged our expertise in user-centered design, mobile application development, usability testing, and project management to develop and deliver the mobile First-Responders Radiological Assessment Triage (mFRAT) application. The mFRAT software collects and evaluates data on radiation dose exposure, assesses the probability of exposure without an assigned dose, and indicates when there is no evidence of overexposure. In addition, it generates dose-specific messages addressing reliability and diagnostic information, hospitalization estimations, and mortality projections for each specific case. 

Radiological and nuclear emergency responders now have a mobile tool that gives them dose-specific and diagnostic output with entering only minimal text. The mFRAT tool helps responders quickly differentiate between the concerned public and exposed individuals for the appropriate use of medical resources, which greatly assists the triage process for these emergencies and events.
