- The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) awarded a $269,922 Project Grant under the Cardiovascular Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.837) to Steth X Microsystems Inc. to develop a smart, wearable contact microphone patch for extended and remote monitoring of lung functions. The goal is to create a low-profile, battery-powered wireless device capable of accurately detecting and quantifying adventitious lung sounds as well as breathing abnormalities in patients with respiratory...
- This Project Grant award from the National Heart Lung and Blood Institute (NHLBI) under the Cardiovascular Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.837) aims to develop a modern Electrical Impedance Tomography (EIT) device for monitoring children in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU). The $299,900 award to Goodlife Inventors LLC will fund efforts to (1) generate initial designs for an advanced lightweight EIT belt and (2) assess the technical feasibility of a miniaturized, easier to use EIT core device. If...
- This Project Grant award of $371,021 from the National Heart Lung and Blood Institute (CFDA 93.837 Cardiovascular Diseases Research) supports the development of a continuous respiratory monitoring platform to better classify apnea of prematurity (AOP) in premature newborns. The primary products to be delivered are: 1) a multimodal system and machine learning model to accurately detect and classify the major types of AOP (central, obstructive, and mixed); and 2) an optimized prototype system...
- This Project Grant award from the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD), under the Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research Program (CFDA 93.865), provides $224,083 to Seattle Children's Hospital, doing business as Seattle Children's Research Institute, for a project titled "USE OF OSCILLOMETRY FOR THE EVALUATION OF PULMONARY FUNCTION FOLLOWING PEDIATRIC ACUTE RESPIRATORY FAILURE." The project aims to advance scientific...
- This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering (NIBIB), under the Discovery and Applied Research for Technological Innovations to Improve Human Health program (CFDA 93.286), will support research to optimize and validate an AI model that screens for arteriovenous fistula stenosis in dialysis patients using sound files from a digital stethoscope. The overarching goal is to determine if this novel screening approach using AI and digital stethoscope...
- This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Nursing Research (NINR) under CFDA 93.361 - Nursing Research, will support the development and evaluation of IMAAP, an interactive mobile asthma action plan. The $441,375 award, effective July 17, 2024 through May 31, 2026, aims to create an innovative technology that leverages objective lung function assessment, symptom reporting, and personalized treatment recommendations to empower adolescents, particularly those from...
- This federal Project Grant award, funded by the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) under the Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.865), aims to enhance mortality surveillance and improve understanding of disease burden among children under 5 in low and middle-income countries. The $115,585 award supports a two-year project led by Dr. Sandipan Pramanik at The Johns Hopkins University to develop a country-specific modeling...
This is a Project Grant awarded by the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD), under the Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.865), for the development and implementation of a pediatric AI multi-modal digital stethoscope and respiratory surveillance system in South Africa. The $261,763 award aims to develop and validate an innovative, inexpensive multi-modal digital stethoscope capable of automated lung sound and respiratory rate analysis, with mobile phone interoperability and integration into an electronic health (eHealth) platform for real-time lower respiratory infection (LRI) and antibiotic surveillance in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). The project will involve a two-phase approach, with the initial R21 period focused on development and validation, followed by an R33 period for a randomized controlled trial evaluation of the multi-modal digital stethoscope and eHealth system. The project builds on the grantee's, The Johns Hopkins University, extensive experience in digital stethoscope research and development across several LMICs.
