Harshbarger Joins OrthoCare Board

Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory (JHUAPL) researcher Stuart Harshbarger, PhD, has joined the Medical and Scientific Advisory Board of OrthoCare Innovations, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma.

As a member of the principal professional staff at JHUAPL, Harshbarger currently serves as the program manager and systems integrator for the $70 million, Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA)-sponsored Revolutionizing Prosthetics 2009 Program. In this role, Harshbarger and his team have been widely recognized for their work, including selection as a 2009 Program Winner by the IEEE Spectrum Magazine, recipient of the 2007 Technology Breakthrough Award, selection of Prototype 2 as one of the top ten Science and Technology Achievements of 2007 by the International Academy of Science, and nomination for the DARPA Tech 2007 Significant Technical Achievement Award.

Harshbarger studied electrical and biomedical engineering at West Virginia Institute of Technology, Montgomery, West Virginia; the U.S. Naval Postgraduate School, Monterey, California; and Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore, Maryland. According to OrthoCare, his research interests focus on the development of highly integrated "smart" prosthetic and assistive technology systems to restore function, prevent injury, and improve quality of lifefor soldiers, first responders, and aging civilians.

"It has been a pleasure working with Stuart and his colleagues at Johns Hopkins on the DARPA Revolutionizing Prosthetics 2009 Program," commented OrthoCare CEO, Doug McCormack. "Not only does Stuart bring world-class experience and insights from his work at APL, he also is the rare researcher who is committed to both R&D and the commercialization of new technologies."

"I am pleased to participate on the OrthoCare Medical Scientific Advisory Board," commented Harshbarger. "I continue to applaud...Doug McCormack's driving vision to ensure the translation of emerging research into clinical practice for the benefit of the prosthetics and orthotics communities. I believe this vision, along with Chief Technology Officer David Boone's clinical experience and his many contributions to the field, positions OrthoCare to make significant contributions for years to come."
