Purple Patch™ Active Bandage Platform Inspired by the legacy of the Purple Heart and the determination to survive against all odds, Purple Patch™ is the world’s first Autonomous Emergency Response System engineered for both battlefield and civilian deployment.
​
Designed under the Design Team Collaboration Medical Skunkworks Program, the Purple Patch Platform unifies trauma innovation, AI-integrated triage, and modular field treatment in a single, life-saving ecosystem. It is the flagship solution in our broader emergency medical informatics cluster.
​
Autonomous Trauma System for the Golden Hour
The Purple Patch™ system integrates two groundbreaking technologies:
-
CardioPoint: a deep-needle cardiac pacing solution
-
NeuroSeal: a biointegrated active bandage with blood filtration and drug delivery
​
Together, they form a modular, AI-coordinated care platform that sustains life autonomously in the critical minutes before EMS, fire, or military medics arrive. The system interfaces with a 911 Smart Phone and a Miniaturized ICU Emergency Kit, enabling real-time triage, vitals monitoring, and medical decision support in resource-limited environments.

Technical Overview (PhD Biomedical Focus)
1. NeuroSeal – Biointegrated Hemorrhage and Thoracic Trauma Solution
A field-deployable bandage that stabilizes chest wounds, preserves blood, and delivers therapy through precision targeting:
-
Blood Capture & Reinfusion
Dual-layer microporous membranes filter blood from lungs, chest, mouth, and nose while preserving red blood cells. Substrates neutralize bacteria, gunpowder, and heavy metals. -
Field Oxygenation
Blood is reoxygenated using hollow-fiber exchange membranes and optional solid-state Oâ‚‚ generators. -
Aortic Loop Needle Access
A hollow, acupuncture-style needle accesses the aortic loop for rapid neuro-targeted drug delivery:-
Vasopressors (e.g., norepinephrine)
-
Neuroprotectants (e.g., magnesium sulfate)
-
Anti-clotting agents (e.g., bivalirudin, kaolin)
-
-
Exit Wound & Esophageal Sealing
Shape-memory foams, polymer plugs, and catheterized expansion chambers isolate wound channels and seal off the esophagus, preventing aspiration and blood loss. -
Smart Adhesion on Wet Surfaces
Hydrogel adhesives and bio-inspired dopamine binders ensure reliable seal even under extreme hemorrhagic or irregular surface conditions. -
Limb & Extremity Application
Adaptive compression maintains distal perfusion—surpassing traditional tourniquets—while still controlling hemorrhage.
​
2. CardioPoint – Sub-Cardiac Electrical Pacing Device
This deep-needle pacing system revives the heart in prehospital settings where defibrillators are unavailable or ineffective.
-
Dual-needle closed-loop stimulation mimics targeted defibrillation
-
Triggers cardiac activation in field cardiac arrest scenarios
-
Fully synchronized with NeuroSeal for coordinated systemic revival
​
3. Emergency Staff Informatics Integration
Every Purple Patch device becomes a sensor, collecting and transmitting:
-
ECG and heart rate
-
Blood pressure and respiration
-
Blood oxygenation (pre- and post-filtration)
-
Drug delivery timestamps
-
Total recovered blood volume
​
This data is synced to the 911 Smart Phone and integrated into Emergency Staff Informatics, enabling:
-
AI-assisted triage
-
Remote specialist support
-
Autonomous or semi-autonomous field care coordination
​
Combat-Ready. Civilian-Safe. Future-Proof.
Purple Patch™ was born for the battlefield but built for civilian mass-casualty response, rural trauma rescue, disaster relief, and law enforcement medical integration.
​
It’s not just a bandage—it's an intelligent, deployable trauma platform that closes the critical gap between injury and intervention.
