Jacobson, originally from Cherry Point, North Carolina, is assigned to the labor and delivery unit at Naval Medical Center Camp Lejeune. The touchpoint at NMCCL is one in a series of planned engagements with prospective end users to help the OPMED Warfighter Readiness, Performance and Brain Health project management office refine the development of field-portable TBI detection devices designed for use in austere, remote locations across the globe. OPMED, part of the Defense Health Agency, partners with stakeholders across the Joint Force to develop, acquire, and field medical devices, treatments, and frontline care solutions for military medical providers to fill capability gaps with the speed of relevance.
