Last month, Deep Breathe had the incredible opportunity to deploy to North Carolina as part of a cutting-edge military exercise run by the United States Marine Corps (USMC). The exercise focused on integrating rapidly maturing technology into the battlefield ‘cure chain,’ enhancing the effectiveness of medical response in combat scenarios.

With participants from across the United States, Canada, and the UK, we showcased our AI Tactical Lung Assessment System—ATLAS. This innovative technology was used by USMC medics in simulated battlefield triage settings, demonstrating its potential to support rapid and accurate lung assessments in high-pressure environments.

A key highlight of the exercise was the vibration testing of ATLAS, made possible through the invaluable support of HMHT-302 Squadron USMC. The testing was conducted while the CH-53E Super Stallion helicopter remained on the ground, allowing our team to evaluate ATLAS’s functionality in a controlled high-vibration environment. Additionally, USMC Corpsmen performed further vibration testing in a mobile Humvee, ensuring ATLAS’s performance across diverse operational conditions.

Throughout the exercise, our Deep Breathe team gathered critical data and continuously refined the UI/UX of ATLAS based on direct USMC feedback. The insights gained will be instrumental in enhancing the system’s usability and effectiveness for military medics. As we await news on a potential invitation to an even more demanding exercise later this year, we extend our sincere gratitude to the USMC and all involved for the opportunity to showcase and enhance our technology in real-world conditions. We remain committed to advancing battlefield medical care through AI-driven innovation.
