Funds to support product development and clinical evaluation activities
MENLO PARK, Calif., June 2 /PRNewswire/ -- Cantimer, Inc., a privately
held company developing and commercializing a proprietary sensor technology
platform with applications in life science, biodefense, environmental
testing, point-of-care diagnostics and home health markets, today announced
that it has been awarded a $996,000 contract by the U.S. Government's
Technical Support Working Group (TSWG; http://www.tswg.gov) to develop a
portable, real-time and non-invasive hydration measurement and monitoring
device for use by firefighters and other first response personnel.
Dehydration is a major health concern in the first responder community.
Mild dehydration can lead to compromised physical and cognitive
performance. Moderate to severe dehydration creates a significantly
increased risk for debilitating and potentially deadly heat illnesses. For
example, firefighters perform physically demanding work in heavy protective
clothing, which increases the production of sweat as the body works harder
than normal to self-regulate its core temperature. Warm or hot ambient
conditions, as well as exposure to radiant heat from fires, increase the
challenge. Dehydration compromises sweat production, and the resulting rise
in core temperature creates increased cardiovascular stress. Dehydration
can also result in other untoward cardiovascular changes.
The United States Fire Administration (part of FEMA -- the Federal
Emergency Management Agency) estimates that more than half of firefighter
line-of-duty deaths result from cardiovascular events or heat illnesses.
Thus ensuring adequate pre-response hydration and on-scene re-hydration is
an increasing area of focus for occupational medicine experts focused on
the health, safety and performance of firefighters. Non-quantitative or
observational hydration assessment techniques may not consiste
