David W. Smith MD, ACP, BS (Chemistry), Board Certified (Internal Medicine Specialist), recognized as a visiting scientist for both The Human Performance Laboratory for the Division of Sports Medicine at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center and the North Shore Division of Neurosurgery and North Shore Neurological Institute, Chicago Illinois. Over his 30-year medical career, he served as Chief of Medicine at Reid Hospital and Healthcare Services. In addition, he founded commercial companies for developing his innovative product concepts XennovateMedical LLC, TBI Innovations LLC, and Delta Chase LLC.
As Chief Science Officer, he has served as lead design and medical education consultant to GlaxoSmithKline (GSK), a $90B+ Pharmaceutical and Healthcare company, GENTEX Corp, the largest manufacturer of USAF helmets, and Materials Modification Inc., nano–materials and coating pioneer to the military complex.
Consistent with his Internal Medicine credentials, Dr. Smith has Intellectual Property and peer-reviewed publications in diverse fields of science, providing him with a unique perspective in overcoming a broad spectrum of significant medical paradigms. Specifically, his solid background in analytical chemistry (with an added emphasis in physics), combined with his medical degree and internal medical career, allowed him to bring a better understanding of energy interactions and impartations to the human body, which has proven particularly useful in the study of Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI).
Dr. Smith discovered and then pioneered “SLOSH Theory,” which represents the basis of his Q-Collar invention for humans designed to mitigate SLOSH energy absorption by the soft tissues of the brain, proven to reduce the risk of brain damage from traumatic events (first product authorized by the FDA for this purpose). Further, he co-authored with Julian Bailes MD, a world-renowned neurosurgeon, a presentation on “The Physics of Traumatic Brain Injury-Revisited,” delivered at the Congress of Neurological Surgeons, Annual Meeting, San Diego, CA, Sept 2016. This venue represents the largest gathering of Neurosurgeons and Brain Injury Specialists worldwide. This event provided the backdrop for Dr. Smith’s disclosure of his latest thinking on how “cavitation” explains how the physics of a concussive wave can produce the chemistry of a TBI.
In his scientific role with Xennovate Medical, he presented several novel battlefield dressings to the Department of the Army Research Lab (DARPA) at the Aberdeen Proving Grounds, Aberdeen, MD. Dr. Smith assisted Gentex Corp, who was successfully awarded a $90M contract in the field of mitigating the forces involved in human ejections from supersonic aircraft. He was the lead scientist in Xennovate’s two-year funding effort with DARPA’s Joint Improvised Explosive Device Defeat Organization (JEIDDO).
