VITAL (Virtual-Integrated Twin for Autonomous Lifesaving) is sponsored by Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) - Biological Technologies Office. The VITAL program is developing digital twins of the human cardiovascular system to provide doctors with a powerful predictive tool.
It integrates a patient's real-time medical data with biological physics to forecast individual responses to various treatments, allowing clinicians to virtually assess the best course of action. The program creates highly detailed models for accuracy and faster, AI-driven versions for real-time decision support, with rigorous validation for safety and reliability.

On June 3, 2026, four DARPA Biological Technologies Office SBIR topics close simultaneously — SWiFT, BARK, EXPOSITION, and Medical Swarm Robotics. Combined Phase I plus Phase II potential exceeds $6 million per company, and together they sketch a coherent strategy of distributed, autonomous, dual-species combat casualty care that depends on small businesses, not primes, to actually build.
Read articleDPA26BZ06-DV026 offers $300,000 at Phase I or $1,800,000 as a single Direct-to-Phase-II tranche with no options. The deliverable is a simulated auction market that measures whether AI agents deceive, collude, or manipulate the humans they serve — measured entirely from the outside. Here is the 90% efficiency gate, the team composition most bidders will get wrong, and why this topic sits in DARPA's biology office.
Read articleDARPA pre-released Release 6 of its FY26 SBIR BAA on September 2, 2026. Five of the seven SBIR topics belong to the Biological Technologies Office, and four of those describe one continuous problem: keeping a casualty alive with no surgeon, no imaging, and no evacuation. Here are the award sizes, the Direct-to-Phase-II gates, and the sequencing DARPA is buying.
