description: "AeroVironment unveiled nxtHealth mimiq, an organ-on-a-chip 'digital avatar' platform for defense biomedical research. Developed with the Air Force Research Laboratory and Naval Research Laboratory, it enables faster, human-relevant testing of chemical exposures to predict warfighter health risks. The platform integrates lung, brain, liver, and kidney chips to track chemical movement and neural activity. Additionally, a DARPA-sponsored effort is creating an intestine-on-a-chip to evaluate countermeasures for traveler’s diarrhea."
