The Defense Automated NeuroBehavioral Assessment (DANA) is a clinical assessment tool that an AnthroTronix-led team developed for the Department of Defense for use in the field.  Once fully validated, DANA will be able to assist first-line (e.g., Medics, Corpsmen) and second-line providers (e.g., generalists) in the field in determining a service member’s type of neurocognitive impairment and level of functioning in the case where a service member may be experiencing difficulty due to brain injury or combat-related physical exhaustion or emotional distress.  DANA will be able to assist the providers with assessing fitness for duty and triage needs in such cases.
