The project aims to develop and evaluate a home-based...
- This Project Grant award, valued at $206,132 and provided by 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), aims to develop a wireless, battery-free bioelectronic implant for closed-loop neuromodulation to treat detrusor sphincter dyssynergia (DSD) in individuals with spinal cord injury. The University of Houston System, the awardee, will fabricate and...
This Project Grant award of $356,032 from the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (CFDA 93.847) supports the development of a novel bladder catheterization device. The project aims to create an innovative method for bladder drainage that addresses the significant morbidity and inconvenience associated with current catheterization approaches. Over 1 million Americans, including those with neurogenic bladder conditions, require catheter use for bladder drainage. The proposed project will develop and evaluate a prototype of this novel bladder catheterization system with several innovative features. The award was made to Minnesota Healthsolutions Corporation, a woman-owned small business focused on medical technology and healthcare solutions development.
