🌍 Large-scale combat operations, drone warfare, humanitarian disasters, and strained supply chains are reshaping how EU and NATO nations think about medical readiness for both military and civilian scenarios.

Expanding on insights shared by Brig Gen (ret.) Dr. Stefan Kowitz at the recent International Conference on Disaster and (DiMiMed), our latest white paper explores how dual-use medical capabilities can deliver a
strategic advantage by strengthening military preparedness while reinforcing civilian resilience.

The paper draws on and doctrine, frontline lessons from , and real-world deployments in examining how MOVES® SLC™ supports damage control resuscitation,
prolonged casualty care, and evacuation across the full continuum of care.

For leaders, emergency health decision-makers, and policymakers focused on interoperability, sustainability, and rapid readiness, this paper offers practical insights into how a single, battle-proven system can serve both military and civilian missions, demonstrating:
• Why early, far-forward damage control resuscitation matters.
• How platform-independent design improves mobility and evacuation.
• The logistical and operational advantages for EU and NATO organizations.

Pushing the Boundaries of Medical Care — From Earth to Space 🚀

Thornhill Medical is proud to be working with NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration as it explores new frontiers in prolonged in-flight medical care for future human space missions.

Beyond Low Earth Orbit, mission safety will depend on life-support technologies that can sustain advanced oxygen delivery, ventilation, and monitoring for three days or more—the time it takes to return to Earth in the event of a medical emergency.

Looking to the future of medical care in space, NASA is testing Thornhill Medical’s MOVES® SLC™ as a potential solution. That’s because MOVES SLC’s oxygen efficiency, oxygen generation capabilities, and additional integrated functions make it a potential solution to this “prolonged space hold/transport” challenge, while reducing space, weight, and risk.

Thornhill Medical’s Field Operations team recently led hands-on training sessions with NASA personnel, supporting rigorous testing as the agency evaluates the feasibility of MOVES SLC for delivering prolonged advanced care in the challenging environments associated with space exploration.

“The outer space environment presents unique challenges for both healthcare personnel and the medical devices they rely on," explains Derek Watt, Thornhill Medical's Vice President, Field Operations (pictured with Thornhill FieldOps colleague Tyler Lucock at NASA’s Johnson Space Center). "We are pleased to support NASA’s test and evaluation of MOVES® SLC™ and their efforts to establish systems for advanced patient care for future, far-reaching space exploration missions.”

We’re proud to see our technology contributing to NASA’s vision for the future, and to the evolution of medical care in the most extreme environments on Earth and beyond.

Our Thornhill Medical team salutes the dedicated efforts of Maple Hope Foundation and the Unite With Ukraine initiative on leading a donation of 30 MOVES® SLC™ to Ukraine’s defense forces.
Made possible by the Government of Canada, this donation brings the total number of MOVES® SLC™ in hashtag to more than 230. These mobile life-support systems are being used by Ukrainian military and civilian personnel to deliver critical care in health facilities, medevac scenarios, and unconventional care environments.
To ensure these incredible medics can use the technology to maximum effect, Thornhill Medical provides training and ongoing support. President & CEO Lesley Gouldie shared:

"With this fifth deployment, we continue to support and enable front- line combat casualty care capacity. Just as importantly, our team is training Ukrainian medical teams to ensure the technology translates into lives saved today and a more resilient medical system for tomorrow.”

At Thornhill Medical, our researchers continue to unlock innovations in oxygen-related science and precision control of arterial blood gases, with the potential to transform diagnosis and treatment.
Among its latest achievements, Thornhill Medical’s R&D team has published an article in the American Heart Association STROKE journal, comparing the sensitivity and specificity of MRI resting perfusion metrics with cerebrovascular reactivity (CVR) -- and revealing valuable implications for assessing hemodynamic impairment, measured using precise control of arterial CO2 and O2.

The study is co-authored by Thornhill researchers Su Sayin, PhD, Olivia Sobczyk, PhD, James Duffin, PhD, and Thornhill director and co-founder Joseph A. Fisher MD.

But that’s not all. We’re also celebrating Su Sayin, who earned her PhD this year. First joining Thornhill as a research volunteer back in 2020, Su has since earned her Master’s and now her PhD, authoring and co-authoring several articles and becoming an important member of our research team.

As Thornhill Medical Director of Research, Olivia Sobczyk, PhD says, “Over the years, Su has been an integral member of the research group, advancing our hypoxia imaging research and aiding in our CVR clinical work. We are extremely proud of her!”

Congratulations, Dr Sayin!
