Barron Associates is developing the Rodent Physiologic Analysis and Recording (RODAR) System. The RODAR system embodies a wireless, noninvasive data collection, visualization, and storage solution for monitoring animals’ physiological status, behavior, and environment. The RODAR system offers continuous or intermittent recording, synchronization, and real-time display of physiologic data and environmental data including. The system also […]

Barron Associates was recently awarded an NIH Phase I SBIR grant to develop the Respiratory Oxygen Adherence Monitor (ROAM) system to reliably assess long term oxygen therapy (LTOT) adherence. LTOT is associated with significant reductions in hospitalizations and improved quality of life in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Despite the benefits of LTOT, […]

Enabling increasing levels of autonomy envisioned for future airspace operations without compromising flight safety will require novel technologies for predicting turbulence, automatically planning missions that minimize turbulence hazards, recognizing and quantifying turbulence in flight, and appropriately and automatically responding to inflight turbulence.  In the context of a passenger carrying DEP VTOL vehicle, Barron Associates previously […]

Free Space Optical (FSO) communication systems offer extremely high throughput links over long distances, with impressive LPI/LPD characteristics. However, they are often susceptible to deep fades due to atmospheric effects or terrain blockage, as well as scattering due to scintillation. High-rate radio frequency (RF) communications systems currently offer data rates approximately an order of magnitude […]

Hospitalization and prolonged immobilization often lead to the functional decline of vulnerable older persons. Bed rest and inactivity accelerate the functional changes that are part of normal aging; the link between inactivity and adverse outcomes is increasingly appreciated by medical professionals, and the mobilization of patients is a critical aspect of patient care. The Barron […]

The goal of this effort is to meld a dropsonde’s sensing and expendable deployment attributes with a UAV’s guided flight capability. Barron Associates is developing an atmospheric-sensor UAV that, like a dropsonde, can be tube-deployed from NOAA aircraft into remote regions. Barron Associates’ proposed UAV provides the ability to gather atmospheric data across a wide […]

During the Phase I, Barron Associates developed a simple, low-cost, technology system to improve range and targeting for a 120mm mortar round.  Barron Associates’ mortar augmentation system expects to extend the nominal mortar range by more than 20% while simultaneously decreasing the impact dispersion by greater than 20%.  The Phase II research will include design, […]

Barron Associates is developing the “Knee Biofeedback Rehabilitation Interface for Game-based Home Therapy (KneeBRIGHT)” system that combines electromyography (EMG) biofeedback with video game therapy to provide knee osteoarthritis (OA) patients with an engaging, effective tool for conducting rehabilitation exercises at home. KneeBRIGHT aims to motivate patients with knee OA to conduct regular muscle strengthening exercise […]

Barron Associates was recently awarded an NIH Phase I SBIR grant to develop and demonstrate a novel, low-cost, easy to use indirect calorimetry (IC) system for use in humans and other mammals. IC systems measure the exchange of respiratory gases, such as oxygen consumption, carbon dioxide production, and minute ventilation. They are used in many […]

Barron Associates is initiating the development of its EMPATHIE system, an educational game that provides an immersive experience into life with a motor disability and promotes design thinking and problem-solving related to the associated mobility challenges. The system will leverage the technology developed previously by Barron Associates, namely its novel video game interface, which implements […]
