Decision Support

A laboratory platform for exploring innovations in mobile healthcare and those enabling technologies that are critical to advancement in this important area of research. The vehicle provides a fully reconfigurable hardware and software environment for hosting multiple research projects simultaneously that are centered on broader challenges in mobile healthcare.

Evaluated, selected, installed, integrated and sustained a video conferencing system infrastructure within five state, university, and federal research, diagnostic, and biocontainment veterinary laboratories across the U.S., enabling live sharing of microscope imagery, animal necropsies, laboratory test results, instrumentation, and field clinical signs between researchers and technicians across geographic and biocontainment barriers.

A system to investigate strain movement and divergence across both time and space, as well as track and compare disease history and spread across animal production systems. The system integrates sequence data from multiple sources, incorporates different sequence alignment, comparison, and tree construction tools, and provides various visualization and analysis tools for working with the data. This is one perspective of the AgConnect system.

A decision support tool for assessing supplemental heat requirements in barn depopulation during a Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (HPAI) outbreak.

A web-based system for specifying, requesting, reserving, and approving activities occurring on the RELLIS proving and training grounds. This system enables increased visibility, management, and deconfliction of the requirements, intentions, and operations for activities from the ground, air, and radio frequency spectrum perspectives to improve the day-to-day operations and safety across the RELLIS proving and training grounds.

Support the Texas Teleforensic Remote Assistance Center (Tex-TRAC) telehealth program that provides a statewide sexual assault nurse examiner (SANE) to serve rural and underserved communities in Texas. The interactive cart and iPad systems allows for identification of injuries and ensuring documentation is as comprehensive as possible, all while ensuring without sacrificing patient privacy, confidentiality, and expert care delivery.

Designed, developed, tested, certified, and fielded a Universal Audit Tool (UAT) capable of performing baseline audits via a non-persistent agent on local and remote systems.

Decision support system that benefits farmers by improving effective use of water supplies through interventions in small-scale irrigation. Enabled the evaluation, selection, and assessment of the impact of small-scale irrigation technologies for smallholder farmers.

Designed and developed a wildlife disease model for Classical Swine Fever (CSF) within feral swine to address limitations of current models, support assessment of the wildlife risk, inform strategies to prevent wildlife interaction, and simulate disease spread, potential time to detection, possible control and mitigation strategies, and the respective economic costs.
