- The U.S. National Institute on Aging (NIA) awarded a $1,089,329 Project Grant to Homecare Hub US Inc. under the Aging Research Federal Grant Program (CFDA 93.866) to scale a network of small community-based care homes as a high-value alternative to institutional long-term care. The project aims to demonstrate improved health outcomes for seniors by leveraging a technology platform that facilitates personalized, cost-effective care through a decentralized network of 2-12 person residential care...
- This Project Grant award of $499,943 from the National Institute on Aging (NIA), under the Aging Research federal grant program (CFDA 93.866), supports the development of a novel, unobtrusive device by Aster Labs, Inc. to continuously measure and analyze gait patterns in older Black adults as an early indicator of health decline from Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (ADRD). The device aims to provide medical professionals and caregivers with remote access to these insights to help...
- The National Institute on Aging (NIA), under the Aging Research Federal Grant Program (CFDA 93.866), has awarded a $499,651 project grant to Carevirtue Technologies, Inc. to develop a novel, AI-enabled dementia care agent. This agent will provide 24/7 personalized education and support services to rural caregivers of individuals with Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (ADRD). The goal is to address the higher caregiving burden and lower social support experienced by rural ADRD care...
- The National Institute on Aging (NIA), under the Aging Research federal grant program (CFDA 93.866), awarded a $320,511 project grant to TRU Diagnostics Inc. to develop a novel diagnostic tool for chronic diseases. The project aims to create a "non-stochastic W function epigenomic roadmap" using systems-based dynamic modeling to capture the shifting homeostatic set points of epigenetic markers over time. This transformative approach aims to enable personalized, dynamic health forecasts...
- 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. The system aims to passively and unobtrusively monitor, empirically measure, and facilitate engagement...
The National Institute on Aging (NIA), under the Aging Research federal grant program (CFDA 93.866), awarded a $499,921 Project Grant to Applied Universal Dynamics, Corp to develop a system that allows off-site monitoring of pressure ulcers for patients in a rural long-term care facility. This Phase I project aims to demonstrate the feasibility of an imaging instrument that can assist individual caregivers in remotely monitoring deep pressure tissue injuries. The innovative solution combines a miniature thermal imaging camera and visible light camera on a low-cost head-mounted display, enabling a single caregiver to position the patient, capture visual and thermal images, and transmit them to a wound specialist for remote assessment. This project, with a performance period from September 2025 to August 2026, seeks to improve healthcare accessibility and monitoring for underserved rural populations.
