- Innovision LLC received a $255,735 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation on January 15, 2022 to complete work by September 30, 2022. The award was made under the NSF Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) to develop a patient digital twin and performance capture system for scoliosis physiotherapy. The system will utilize integrated digital environments, parametric musculoskeletal models, and dynamic avatars to simulate human-robot interaction for scoliosis treatment. Such...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $289,962 Project Grant under the NSF Technology, Innovation, and Partnerships (CFDA 47.084) program to The Cleveland Clinic Foundation, a non-profit academic medical center, to scope and plan the transformation of the "Open Knee(s)" open-source ecosystem for computational knee biomechanics research and innovation. The project aims to identify the infrastructure and operational prerequisites, leverage insights from other open-source ecosystems, and seed a distributed collaborative developer community to advance the Open Knee(s) ecosystem. This will democratize access to virtual knee models, data, tools, and expertise to support progress in understanding and restoring knee function. The project period runs from June 15, 2024 to May 31, 2025.
