Old Dominion University Research Foundation received a $240,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation Division of Computing and Communication Foundations under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering federal grant program (CFDA 47.070).

The grant will fund research to develop an edge-cloud interplay platform for efficient data communication and processing to support intelligent medical systems. Specifically, the university will create a software-defined networking architecture to classify healthcare data at edge devices for real-time service delivery. Researchers will also develop artificial intelligence and machine learning models to identify potential medical conditions in patients. The models will be validated by analyzing local data access times from central servers to local databases. In addition, the project will examine interplay between edge and cloud technologies to meet real-time application demands for healthcare systems. The grant provides research experiences for students from underrepresented communities in related fields and supports modernizing the curriculum at Meharry Medical College.
