- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Technology, Innovation, and Partnerships (CFDA 47.084) Cooperative Agreement award of $984,381 to Cobio Diagnostics Inc. in Aurora, Colorado aims to expand a diagnostic tool that enables rapid, direct-from-specimen identification and antimicrobial susceptibility testing of major bloodborne bacterial pathogens. The project will develop a regulatory pathway for FDA clearance, characterize antibodies to expand the test, and validate the expanded tests...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Technology, Innovation, and Partnerships (CFDA 47.084) Cooperative Agreement award for $997,142 aims to develop a rapid phenylalanine blood level monitor for patients with phenylketonuria (PKU), a lifelong genetic disorder. The product consists of a test strip and device that can provide frequent, accessible monitoring of phenylalanine levels from a finger prick to improve disease management and patient outcomes. The project focuses on optimizing the...
- This $997,693 Cooperative Agreement awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Technology, Innovation, and Partnerships (CFDA 47.084) program aims to develop an interactive health assessment and monitoring platform to improve patient-provider communication and reduce healthcare costs. The project by Literaseed, Inc. integrates electronic health record (EHR) data with natural language processing (NLP) techniques to extract valuable information from medical records, enabling...
Levisonics Inc. was awarded a $998,857 cooperative agreement from the National Science Foundation under the NSF Technology, Innovation, and Partnerships program (CFDA 47.084) for the period of March 1, 2022 through February 29, 2024. The award will support the development of an innovative non-contact platform for low volume blood coagulation analysis using a single drop of blood. The technology aims to safely and reliably assess blood clotting in neonatal, pediatric, and vulnerable adult patients using just 1/100th of the sample volume required by existing technologies. It is expected to decrease diagnostic response times by over three times and lower the cost of blood coagulation analysis by more than 30%, potentially saving $1.1 billion annually for patients in the United States. The platform will integrate photo-optical and viscoelastic measurements in a single drop of levitated blood sample to rapidly evaluate clotting properties without requiring physical contact with the test sample.
