The National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health (NCCIH) awarded a $149,769 Project Grant (CFDA 93.213 - Research and Training in Complementary and Integrative Health) to develop and validate a multimodal wearable device to objectively detect acute exacerbations in chronic conditions like COPD. The research aims to integrate heterogeneous sensing modalities, incorporate an electronic nose sensor, and analyze biorhythm interconnectivity to distinguish changes in health status and facilitate early intervention. The project will be carried out by the University of Nebraska as the prime recipient, with sub-awards to the University of Nebraska at Omaha and Texas A&M University to leverage their expertise in areas like data analytics, artificial intelligence, and biomechanics. The award period runs from September 2024 through June 2028.
