Fighting jet-lag, traveler’s diarrhea with implantable pharmacies - GCN
Because warfighters must stay in peak physical condition, jet lag and travelers’ diarrhea can pose understandable readiness challenges. To maximize individuals’ performance, the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency wants to give service members the ability to produce and release of therapies that either re-regulate disrupted sleep cycles or eliminate bacteria that cause gastrointestinal stress.
The Advanced Acclimation and Protection Tool for Environmental Readiness (ADAPTER) aims to enhance the health and mobility of warfighters by halving the time it takes to reestablish a warfighter’s normal sleep after a disruption such as jet lag or shift lag and eliminating the top five bacterial sources of traveler’s diarrhea through bioelectronic carriers that release therapies warfighters can use to control their own physiology.
