The U.S. Department of Agriculture's (USDA) National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) awarded a $125,000 Project Grant under the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) / Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) Program to AMK Technologies Of Ohio, LLC (doing business as Oneclinic) on July 1, 2024. The grant funds the development of a new portable wireless medical examination kit for telemedicine in rural areas. The proposed device combines fast autofocus, a high-quality image sensor, and a powerful image processor to provide true-to-life video during remote medical examinations. The telemedicine device is designed to be flexible, portable, and allow for wireless remote medical examinations without the need to be plugged into a computer. The goal is to significantly enhance the quality and reach of healthcare in rural areas, where 60 million Americans currently lack adequate access due to physician shortages and hospital closures.
