Summary

The BioElectronics to Sense and Treat (BEST) program, initiated by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), aims to develop an innovative automated bioelectronic smart bandage designed to predict, prevent, and treat wound infections, particularly in military settings. This advanced bandage will continuously monitor wounds for signs of infection and utilize closed-loop control mechanisms to intervene proactively or address existing infections. The program seeks contractors with expertise in biological technologies, medical device development, and regulatory strategies, as the end goal is to achieve a technology readiness level of 6 (TRL-6) for the device, ensuring it is ready for integration and testing. The solicitation anticipates multiple awards, with a total funding of approximately $22.8 million available for performer awards, making it an attractive opportunity for businesses specializing in medical technology and innovative healthcare solutions.
