The University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) received a $484,067 Project Grant from the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) under the Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.865), awarded on June 15, 2026, with a completion date of May 31, 2031. The research initiative addresses diagnostic and monitoring challenges associated with neurogenic thoracic outlet syndrome (NTOS), a condition characterized by dynamic compression of the brachial plexus resulting in upper extremity pain, paresthesias, and functional impairment. The project delivers a novel artificial intelligence-powered remote patient monitoring (RPM) system capable of extracting upper extremity motor function digital biomarkers from standard telemedicine video without requiring wearable sensors. Building on UCLA's "Press Test"—a 20-second hand-over-head task that provokes NTOS pathophysiology—the system enables remote, scalable, and cost-effective diagnosis acceleration and referral to specialist providers, as well as objective short- and long-term monitoring of surgical and medical treatment outcomes. This technology platform addresses critical gaps in NTOS care by providing objective diagnostic metrics and therapeutic outcome measurements to replace subjective clinical assessment and improve confidence in treatment efficacy.Federal Grant Award Summary
