The progress of the war.
Imagine a seriously injured soldier in the middle of a war zone, now imagine that next to him there is a station capable of printing human skin, layer by layer, ready to be applied instantly, the United States Army took an interesting step towards the future of combat medicine, by investing in 3D printed skin with the aim of protecting and treating its soldiers against the worst threats, extreme burns, chemical weapons and resistant infections and all this can happen a few meters from the front line.
The project was born from a collaboration between the biological chemical center of the United States Army Development Command Devcon CBC and the University system of Hawaii, especially the Jefferson School of Medicine. The technique used is bioprinting, a process that uses special inks made from human cells to recreate living tissues in three dimensions. before even applying them without real soldiers.
Mobile medical units
The collaboration provides for the development of mobile bioprinting stations that can be taken directly to the battlefield. These stations will be able to produce skin prototypes in remote hostile environments, drastically expanding the chances of survival of wounded combatants. The system will be able to generate personalized treatments, reduce response time and avoid dependency on distant medical centers.
Bio printing does not act alone, behind the scenes AI models that simulate the behavior of the tissue, control cellular distribution and adjust the printing according to each lesion, in addition the development of advanced immunological models at Devcon CBC seeks to anticipate reactions to various, ensuring that the printed tissues interact safely and effectively with the human organism.
The union between artificial intelligence, biotechnology and 3D printing forms a powerful triad where each injury can have a tailor-made treatment right there in the middle of the mission, the impact goes far beyond the battlefield. These technologies can be applied in natural disasters, industrial accidents, rescues in isolated regions and even in civil hospitals, especially in places without access to large surgical centers with laboratories in states such as Maryland, Arkansas and Utah. Devcon CBC has become the main technical institution in the United States in defense against chemical weapons. biological, using its infrastructure to develop realistic, rapid and adaptable solutions.
What do you think about this technology, do you argue that this technology should be used to save soldiers or should be first in hospitals around the world.
