The University of North Texas Health Science Center at Fort Worth (UNTHSC) was awarded a $426,286 Project Grant by the National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering under the Discovery and Applied Research for Technological Innovations to Improve Human Health (CFDA 93.286) program. This 2-year grant aims to disseminate bioethical concerns related to the development and clinical translation of bionic and robotic prostheses from the perspectives of people with limb loss/difference, clinicians, and policymakers. The goal is to identify high-priority bioethical issues and incorporate them into a decisional support document to help researchers, manufacturers, and funders improve their approaches in this area. Key topics to be explored include equitable device access, research participation, and the implications of advanced prosthetic technologies. The findings from this study are expected to inform future research and policy decisions that could positively impact the quality of life for people who can benefit from these innovative prosthetic technologies.
