This Project Grant award of $220,947 from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) supports research to develop an intelligent wearable system that can assess patient motivation, adapt the challenge level of therapeutic activities, and provide cues to motivate stroke survivors to use their affected limbs. The project aims to address the problem of "learned non-use" where stroke survivors avoid using their impaired limbs despite retaining the ability to move them, which limits their independence. The research will involve computational modeling, software engineering, user testing, and feasibility demonstrations to create an explainable machine intelligence system that can optimize personalized interventions to promote sensorimotor recovery after stroke. The award was made to The Medical College of Wisconsin, Inc., a private non-profit research institution, and the project will run from August 1, 2025, to July 31, 2028.
