A handheld radio device that incorporates within equipment typically carried by a first-responder but with added functionality which enables assessments of a subject's cognitive, auditory, visual, and speech function. In addition to providing two-way tactical radio functionality, the handheld radio device operates to generate haptic, audible, and visual stimuli, and then assess a subject utilizing the handheld radio device based on the subject's responses to the stimuli on the interfaces and sensors of the handheld radio device. Because this functionality is provided in equipment this is already typically carried by the first-responder, assessments that are more forward-deployed and closer to the point and time of injury, exposure, or period of interest can occur.

A biosignal measuring device that can include at least one Super-conducting Quantum Interference Device (SQUID) array (SQA) of High Temperature Superconducting (HTS) Josephson Junctions (JJs). The HTS JJs operating parameters can be adjusted to establish an anti-peak response for the SQA, that can be at a maximum along a defined response axis, for detection of extremely small biomagnetic fields. For operation, the SQA can be maneuvered around a target area of a stationary subject that is emitting biomagnetic signals using a stand with three degrees of freedom, so that the response axis remains orthogonal to the subject target area. The device can further include a radome with an atomic layer deposition (ALD) window on the radome surface. The radome ALD surface can allow for passage of magnetic signals through the ALD window and radome, while simultaneously preventing passage of infrared radiation therethrough.
