This $347,386 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) aims to develop a new wearable device for continuous, cuffless blood pressure monitoring. The project seeks to create a novel bioimpedance-based sensing technology that can accurately infer blood pressure from physiological measurements, without requiring the use of a traditional blood pressure cuff. This new technology is intended to address the limitations of existing clinically-accurate devices, which are often costly, uncomfortable, and inconvenient for extended out-of-clinic use. By leveraging computational and machine learning models, the project will establish the biological relationships between bioimpedance signals and blood pressure, with the goal of enabling continuous, convenient blood pressure monitoring to support the management of hypertension and reduce associated cardiovascular events. The award period runs from April 1, 2025 to July 31, 2026, and the work will be performed by the University of Illinois.
