Paper Abstract
Governmental agencies charged with protecting the health of the population and agriculture have several main strategic
objectives including the detection of harmful agents, the identification of vulnerable biological targets, the prediction of
health outcomes and the development of countermeasures. New technologies are urgently needed in several critical
areas of bio-chemical defense: economical and minimally invasive biosensors for field use in humans and other species
important for agriculture and infrastructure, universal analytical platforms for broad-based, early warnings of threats
and technologies guiding the development of countermeasures. A new technology called Stress Response Profiling
(SRP) was recently developed by the Gaia Medical Institute. SRP provides a universal analytical platform for
monitoring health status based on measurements of physiological stress. The platform is implemented through handheld
devices that can be used for noninvasive detection of early-stage health problems. This paper summarizes SRP
features, advantages and potential benefits for critical areas of homeland defense.
