This $256,000 National Science Foundation SBIR Phase I Project Grant to Airomatix, Inc. supports the development of a portable oxygen concentrator capable of producing breathable oxygen at higher flow rates than current models. The concentrator utilizes a novel photocatalytic reaction to separate oxygen from ambient air and store it in a chemical solution. It will then release oxygen on demand through a temperature-controlled reaction. During the one-year period of performance ending March 2023,...

This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Industrial Innovation, under the Engineering program (CFDA 47.041), provides $256,000 to Colabs, Inc. to develop an automated airway and ventilator system that eliminates human operator variability during cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). The system aims to reliably place an airway tube for ventilation, synchronize air delivery with chest compressions, and enable cardiac defibrillation at lower voltages through an electrode...

The Department of Defense's Military Medical Research and Development program (CFDA 12.420) has awarded a $2,172,212.00 project grant to the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB) to develop a biomimetic, self-deploying intubation device for safer and more effective airway management in austere, far-forward environments. UCSB has engaged Vine Medical Inc. and Stanford University as sub-awardees to collaborate on this multi-year (Sep 2023 - Sep 2025) research and development effort. The...

This National Science Foundation (NSF) Technology, Innovation, and Partnerships (CFDA 47.084) Project Grant awarded $274,440 to Vine Medical Inc., a for-profit manufacturing company, to develop a proof-of-concept for a self-deploying endotracheal intubation device. The proposed soft robotics system aims to achieve over a 90% first-pass intubation success rate, which would improve patient outcomes and reduce complications during emergency airway management procedures. The device is designed to...

This Project Grant award from the Department of the Army Medical Command provides $3,940,561 to fund the "Breathing Low Oxygen to Enhance Spinal Stimulation Training and Functional Recovery in Persons with Chronic Spinal Cord Injury: The BO2ST Trial" project under the Military Medical Research and Development program (CFDA 12.420). The award period is from September 30, 2022 through September 29, 2026. The project aims to investigate the extent to which daily acute intermittent hypoxia...

The Cooperative Agreement award, funded by the Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences under the Uniformed Services University Medical Research Projects program (CFDA 12.750), is for the development of "SELF-DEPLOYING, INSTRUMENTED, SHAPE-MEMORY POLYMER ENDOTRACHEAL TUBES FOR NON- EXPERT, AUTONOMOUS EMERGENCY INTUBATION AND MONITORING OF THORACIC INJURIES IN BATTLEFIELD CONDITIONS". The $2,862,000.00 award, with a performance period from December 15, 2023 to December 14,...
