The National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering (NIBIB) awarded Weill Medical College of Cornell University a $678,471 Project Grant (CFDA 93.286: Discovery and Applied Research for Technological Innovations to Improve Human Health) beginning June 1, 2026, with completion targeted for March 31, 2030. This award funds the development of a novel transcranial Doppler (TCD) ultrasound device designed to automate detection of cerebral emboli in stroke-at-risk patients. The project will deliver a compact, portable TCD ultrasound array with field-programmable gate array (FPGA)-based control capabilities that enables long-term, continuous monitoring in both clinical and ambulatory settings—addressing a critical gap in current TCD technology, which remains cumbersome and limited to clinical environments. The device will incorporate a two-dimensional ultrasound array with beam-steering functionality to automatically locate the middle cerebral artery and employ sophisticated signal processing combined with deep learning algorithms to detect and flag passing emboli. This technology will advance the ability to monitor high-risk patients for early detection of thromboembolism, particularly in perioperative and post-surgical recovery periods when stroke risk is elevated. The award supports design, fabrication, and testing of the novel TCD array and associated automation systems, with deliverables expected to improve clinical decision-making and patient outcomes in stroke prevention and monitoring.Federal Grant Award Summary
