The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI), under CFDA Program 93.837 Cardiovascular Diseases Research, awarded a $863,328 Project Grant to Aquillius Corp to develop a wearable graphene respiratory sensor for early detection and monitoring of asthma. The sensor is intended to provide real-time continuous monitoring and measurement of pulmonary functions, particularly for children, to improve asthma diagnosis, treatment, and patient care. The Phase I feasibility studies will focus on optimizing the sensor's function using a manikin lung simulator and demonstrating its ability to capture pulmonary data in real-time. Upon successful completion, Phase II will involve further development and refinement of the device by incorporating human test subjects with asthma, as well as enhancing the end-user interface and software. The commercialization of this innovative respiratory sensor is expected to greatly enhance patient monitoring and personalized asthma treatments.
