The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) awarded a $117,750 Project Grant under the Cardiovascular Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.837) to the Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children's Hospital of Chicago. The funding will support the development and validation of remote patient monitoring technology using wireless biosensors and a portable capnograph to continuously collect physiological data from pediatric patients on home mechanical ventilation. The project aims to address barriers to equitable implementation of this remote monitoring approach, particularly for families with limited English proficiency or technology literacy, by applying the Health Equity Implementation Framework to identify strategies to increase adoption. This work will facilitate more informed, remote adjustments to chronic home ventilator settings for this medically complex pediatric population, potentially improving health outcomes while reducing caregiver burden and healthcare costs.
