The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $549,999 Project Grant under its Technology, Innovation, and Partnerships (CFDA 47.084) program to the University of Delaware. The grant, entitled "Using Textile-Based Wearable Sensors Coated with Nanocomposites for Virtual Health and Physical Rehabilitation," aims to develop innovative wearable sensors that can detect and capture human movement kinematics and kinetics. These sensors have the potential to allow physical therapists and clinicians to remotely monitor patient progress and access continuous data collected outside of the clinic, improving treatment methodologies for millions of Americans with injuries and movement difficulties. The grant will leverage an interdisciplinary approach to evaluate the sensing response, develop calibration protocols, and estimate sensor efficacy. The project runs from October 1, 2023, to September 30, 2025.
