Had been. After the split, the company specializing in this type of
technology is CCR. Also, the work is largely completed (though there
is probably still one or two papers to be churned out using existing
data). It would be sure nice to develop a portable fieldable gadget,
but CCR is spread thin personally, while also having other fish to
catch.
Also, the awareness for the necessity to apply hypothermia in the
field and the ER quickly is not yet widespread. Lots of energy
necessary to bash closed doors open.
