This $100,000 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Technology, Innovation, and Partnerships program will support the development of an advanced wound care technology at Florida International University. Specifically, the university will create a bandage-integrated platform that provides feedback-mediated wound therapy to enable personalized care. The conformable platform is designed to non-invasively monitor multiple wound biomarkers in spatial detail and then apply targeted...
This Project Grant award of $305,000 from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Technology, Innovation, and Partnerships (CFDA 47.084) program supports the development of an advanced wound care product for treating diabetic foot ulcers. The product utilizes a patented microneedle patch design to deliver three therapeutic agents that disinfect the wound, prevent bacterial biofilm formation, and activate the immune system to promote healing. Initial work will be conducted using skin tissue...
This $100,000 National Science Foundation Technology, Innovation, and Partnerships grant funds the development of tunable porosity aerogel for wound care dressings at The University of Akron from July 1, 2022 to June 30, 2023. The project aims to create a novel bio-based aerogel dressing that could help heal patients with chronic wounds faster by requiring fewer dressing changes. Aerogels' high porosity, surface area and moisture balance properties may create an incubator-like wound healing...
This $250,000 National Science Foundation project grant supports the development of a microneedle-mediated adaptive phototherapy wound dressing by the University of South Florida from October 1, 2022 to November 30, 2024. The dressing integrates self-diagnosis and treatment tailored to wound conditions without external electronics or medical professionals. Microstructured microneedles act as optical waveguides to deliver localized blue or red light therapy at wound sites, changing wavelength...
