Technology in Disaster Environments (TiDE) Multi-Topic focused on the following two areas:

  1. FOCUS AREA #1: Accelerating Medical Device Interoperability and Autonomy (MDIA) – This topic is focused on accelerating mechanical ventilator and/or infusion pump interoperability, remote control and integration into NETCCN (National Emergency Tele-Critical Care Network) platforms in support of tele-critical care of COVID-19 patients.
  1. FOCUS AREA #2: Technology in Disaster Environments (TiDE) Learning Accelerator (TLA) – This topic is focused on developing performance measures and accelerating the availability and application of insight for use in improving delivery of tele-critical care through NETCCN and to technology in civilian and military disaster and mass casualty environments more broadly.

Enhanced White Papers are due no later than January 8, 2021 at 12:00pm Eastern Time. The RPP is posted to the MTEC website (mtec-sc.org) and a notice is posted on www.beta.SAM.gov to notify interested parties. The University of Iowa is a member of MTEC the Medical Technology Enterprise Consortium

In support of COVID-19 surge response, the Telemedicine & Advanced Technology Research Center (TATRC) has funded the development and deployment of the National Emergency Tele-Critical Care Network (NETCCN), a set of cloud-based, low-resource, stand-alone health information management systems for the creation and coordination of flexible and extendable “virtual critical care wards.” These high acuity, virtual wards bring high-quality critical care [expertise] capability to nearly every bedside, be it healthcare facility, field hospital, or gymnasium regardless of geographic location. Based on available communication networks, mobile technologies and cloud computing, NETCCN platforms support the extension of high-quality intensive care to locations that lack adequate critical care expertise or resources necessary for care of COVID-19 patients.
