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 prototype development and participatory design studies.

The team will create a commercially viable and effective low-cost stroke rehabilitation technology and dissemination model with long-term sustainable societal impact. A participatory design process will iteratively develop, test, and disseminate the technology with a focus on access, usability, adherence, and economics. The rehabilitative effects of this technology are intended for nationwide and eventual worldwide use.

Additionally, $750,000 will be provided to the Georgia Tech Research Corporation through a sub-award to establish useful and usable passive stimulation rehabilitation technology to reduce pain, increase ability, and help persons with disabilities better care for themselves and reenter the workforce through human-centered design and multidisciplinary research.
