Healthcare / DoD
DoD Medical Suite
Comprehensive AI-powered medical platform for military healthcare — combining voice-activated field assistance, secure patient assessment APIs, and prolonged care support for austere environments.
The Challenge
Future military conflicts present unprecedented medical challenges:
- Casualties may wait 24-72 hours for evacuation vs. the traditional "Golden Hour"
- Field medics need ICU-level care capabilities with limited resources
- High cognitive load leads to errors under extreme stress
- Connectivity is unreliable or non-existent in combat zones
The Solution: Three Integrated Components
1. Virtual Medical Assistant
Voice-activated AI assistant for prolonged field care:
- Clinical decision support based on TCCC protocols — works offline
- Automated MARCH triage algorithm for mass casualties
- Drug dosing calculator with interaction checking
- Voice interface for hands-free operation
- Image analysis for wound assessment
- Auto-documentation via voice transcription
2. Secure Patient Assessment API
Production-ready TypeScript API with comprehensive security:
- AES-256-GCM encryption for Protected Health Information
- JWT authentication with role-based access control
- OWASP Top 10 protections
- Comprehensive audit logging
- HIPAA-compliant data handling
3. Tele-Consultation Platform
Secure video consultation connecting field medics with remote physicians:
- End-to-end encrypted video using self-hosted Jitsi
- Patient data sharing with physician console
- AI-powered recommendations visible to both parties

Offline-First Architecture
The system is designed to function without connectivity:
- Local ML models for clinical decision support
- Encrypted on-device storage for patient data
- Voice interface processing on device
- Opportunistic sync when connection detected
- Only tele-consultation requires connectivity
