The USF Health Office of Military Medical Innovation & Research (OMMIR) advances mission-driven military medical research, development, and translational science.  OMMIR offers novel solutions to enhance warfighter readiness, resilience, and recovery and answer critical questions from the military health system. 

Biomechanics:  preventing injury and enhancing performance by applying human movement, load carriage, and rehabilitation science with integrated wearable sensor data and motion capture. 

Brain health:  advancing prevention, early detection, and rehabilitation for blast exposure, concussion, and operational stress injuries through neuroprotective interventions, biomarker discovery, advanced neuroimaging, and integrated rehabilitation (physical therapy, cognitive training, and psychological resilience). 

Outcomes-based training:  designing and validating unit training and medical devices for deployed care using high-fidelity simulations, digital battlefield replicas, and modelling. 

Operational medicine:  optimizing casualty care, evacuation, and resource allocation for large scale combat operations (LSCO) through augmented intelligence, predictive analytics, digital twins, and decision-support systems. 

Optimized human performance:  Enhancing cognitive, musculoskeletal, and psychological performance in high-stress, high-risk environments through metabolic optimization, fatigue mitigation, and neurocognitive conditioning. 

Our R&D portfolio is informed by military priorities and powered by interdisciplinary teams across medicine, engineering, public health, and biomedical sciences.
