The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $999,553 Cooperative Agreement under the NSF Technology, Innovation, and Partnerships (TIP) program (CFDA 47.084) to Dynocardia, Inc. to develop motion artifact correction systems for their Vitrack wearable blood pressure monitoring device. Vitrack uses a novel optomechanical sensor array and computer vision technology to provide accurate, continuous, and non-invasive blood pressure measurements, addressing limitations of traditional cuff-based monitoring. This Phase II SBIR project aims to improve Vitrack's computer vision algorithms to better handle motion artifacts that can occur in hospital settings, integrating artificial intelligence to enhance the system's ability to recognize and address various types of motion. Once validated, the updated motion correction algorithms will be integrated into the Vitrack device to enable its use for continuous blood pressure monitoring in clinical environments.
