The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $274,970 Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I grant to Censyn, Inc. on November 15, 2023 under the NSF Technology, Innovation, and Partnerships (CFDA 47.084) program. The award is for the development of a portable, handheld electroencephalogram (EEG) device designed to provide a rapid, quantifiable assessment of concussions and facilitate faster access to proper patient care. The project aims to overcome limitations of current concussion screening tools by enabling untrained users to effectively collect high-quality brain wave data and by developing a discriminant function to detect acute changes indicative of concussions. The planned deliverable is a usable prototype with suitable sensitivity and specificity compared to current diagnostic measures, targeting a $6.8 billion market opportunity in sports injury management, military health, and hospital sectors.
