The National Institute on Aging (NIA) awarded a $835,056 Project Grant (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) to Trustees of Tufts College (Tufts University) to develop a multi-modal system of wearable biosensors and machine learning algorithms for continuous monitoring of mobility and cognitive function in older adults. The goal is to enable early detection and prediction of Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (AD/ADRD) by capturing subtle changes in biophysical domains like gait, posture, and...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) supports the development of the At-Home Health Station (AHS), a technology platform designed to simplify digital health experiences for individuals with cognitive impairment or Alzheimer's disease and related dementias. The $811,228 award will fund usability testing and design refinement of the AHS system, with the goal of achieving a System Usability Scale score of 70 and establishing a...
This Project Grant award, with ID R43AG090115, was provided by the National Institute on Aging (NIA) under the Aging Research Federal Grant Program (CFDA 93.866). The $367,577 award, with a performance period from September 15, 2024 to August 31, 2025, is funding Adepthera LLC, a for-profit limited liability company, to develop a regenerative peptide therapy to accelerate pressure ulcer healing. The project aims to identify an optimal formulation of a self-assembling adrenomedullin (ADM)...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Technology, Innovation, and Partnerships (CFDA 47.084) Project Grant award of $305,000 will fund the development of an advanced wound care product to treat diabetic foot ulcers. The product is a microneedle bandage that delivers three therapeutic agents to disinfect the wound, prevent biofilm formation, and activate the immune system to speed healing. Initial work will be performed using skin tissue cultures and testing on diabetic pigs. The project aims to...
The National Institute on Aging (NIA), under the Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866), awarded a $299,428 Project Grant to WNT Scientific LLC to develop an innovative medical device to treat nonunion fractures in older adults. The device is a biodegradable, controlled-release material designed to promote fracture healing by stimulating angiogenesis (blood vessel formation), which is impaired in elderly patients due to chronic inflammation. The awarded project aims to commercialize this...
This $100,000 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Technology, Innovation, and Partnerships program will support the development of an advanced wound care technology at Florida International University. Specifically, the university will create a bandage-integrated platform that provides feedback-mediated wound therapy to enable personalized care. The conformable platform is designed to non-invasively monitor multiple wound biomarkers in spatial detail and then apply targeted...
The Department of Health and Human Services' National Institutes of Health's National Institute on Aging awarded $865,905 under the Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866) to Careband, Inc. to develop the Appraise to Assist system. This project grant will support Careband and its partner Eperture LLC to engineer a system integrating Careband's wearable device and Eperture's tablet platform.
