The award is funded under the NSF Directorate for Engineering's Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) to improve quality of life and economic strength through innovative engineering research and...
This $1,149,995.00 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) Program (CFDA 47.070) supports research at New York University (NYU) School of Medicine to develop innovative methods in artificial intelligence (AI) and motion capture technology to analyze patient movement and improve stroke rehabilitation. The key objectives of the project are to: 1) develop a method to integrate multimodal data into a shared representation...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Technology, Innovation, and Partnerships (CFDA 47.084) Project Grant award of $275,000 to Rehabnetics Medical LLC will fund the development of a prototype robotic wrist-hand exoskeleton device for physical therapy. The system aims to provide tailored rehabilitative exercises and quantified measures of therapeutic progress for patients with motor deficits resulting from neurological conditions such as stroke, traumatic brain injury, and Parkinson's...
This $750,000 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Technology, Innovation, and Partnerships program will fund the development of appropriate rehabilitation technology for stroke survivors through passive tactile stimulation. The Leland Stanford Junior University will lead an interdisciplinary team including universities, hospitals, and community organizations to finalize the team composition, generate use cases, and develop a comprehensive research plan including initial...
This Project Grant award of $220,947 from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) supports research to develop an intelligent wearable system that can assess patient motivation, adapt the challenge level of therapeutic activities, and provide cues to motivate stroke survivors to use their affected limbs. The project aims to address the problem of "learned non-use" where stroke survivors avoid using their impaired limbs despite retaining the ability...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) is providing a $170,617 Project Grant under its Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) to the University of Illinois to advance the scientific study of brain functional changes after a stroke and pioneer a tailored rehabilitation strategy that fits each individual's needs. The 5-year project aims to combine different imaging methods to guide electrical brain stimulation that improves the recovery of movement for stroke patients, potentially benefiting over half a...
This National Science Foundation Project Grant award of $468,072 supports research at The Trustees of the Stevens Institute of Technology to develop personalized virtual reality interfaces for motor rehabilitation. The goal is to optimize outcomes for individuals with spinal cord or brain injuries undergoing physical therapy. The researchers will examine how impairment levels affect performance, physiological responses, and perceptions during VR training that adapts task difficulty and augmented...
This $983,137 Cooperative Agreement award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the NSF Technology, Innovation, and Partnerships (TIP) program (CFDA 47.084) supports the development of a biofeedback system for adults with Parkinson's disease who have speech disorders. The project aims to create a product that can detect and report on communicative disorders in adults, allowing them to better communicate and live productive lives, while also reducing the overall burden on the...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $550,000 Project Grant under the NSF Technology, Innovation, and Partnerships program (CFDA 47.084) to the University of Pittsburgh to develop a visual unilateral neglect detection, assessment, and rehabilitation tool for stroke patients. The project will incorporate augmented reality and electroencephalography technologies to objectively quantify neglect severity and provide tailored sensory stimulation during everyday activities. This aims to...
This is a Cooperative Agreement awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the NSF Technology, Innovation, and Partnerships (TIP) program (CFDA 47.084). The $1,000,000 award to Immergo Labs, Inc. supports the development of an immersive virtual reality (VR) platform for remote physical therapy and monitoring. The proposed innovation aims to increase the affordability, accessibility, and accuracy of physical therapy through an embodied telehealth solution with 3D virtual avatars and...
