Under this award, Ovid BP will assess the feasibility of using video-based algorithms to accurately measure blood pressure through...
- The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute awarded $351,388 to Barron Associates, Inc. on August 15, 2026, under the Cardiovascular Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.837) to develop a noninvasive hemodynamic monitoring tool for heart failure patients. The project addresses the clinical gap in home and hospital monitoring of acute decompensated heart failure by creating a low-cost alternative to invasive right heart catheterization and costly implantable devices. The proposed solution...
- The National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering awarded George Mason University $265,018 on August 15, 2026, under the Discovery and Applied Research for Technological Innovations to Improve Human Health program (CFDA 93.286) to develop a disposable wearable ultrasound patch for real-time, noninvasive monitoring of cardiac output and blood pressure in neonates and infants following cardiac surgery. The project addresses the absence of continuous hemodynamic monitoring solutions...
- The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute awarded the University of Alabama at Birmingham $1,491,464 under the Cardiovascular Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.837) on May 1, 2026, for Project Grant R01HL178770, a research study comparing ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) to wrist-worn home blood pressure monitoring (HBPM) in assessing end-organ damage. The study, titled AW-COMPARE, will evaluate whether wrist-worn HBPM devices can replace ABPM as the reference standard for...
- The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute awarded Autonomous Healthcare Inc. $305,999 on September 1, 2026, under the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) program to conduct a Phase I feasibility study of E-Fusion, a bedside clinical decision support system designed to assist anesthesiologists, anesthetists, and critical care nurses with vasopressor titration and blood pressure management during surgery and in the intensive care unit. The system monitors mean arterial pressure (MAP) and...
- The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute awarded Environment & Health Group Inc. $314,321 on August 5, 2026, under the Cardiovascular Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.837) to develop HeartSense.AI, a generative AI-driven mobile health solution for hypertension self-management in lower-income adults. The application describes an mHealth platform that integrates a generative AI model with home-based blood pressure monitoring, digital pill reminders, and non-physician-led telehealth to...
The Department of Health and Human Services National Institutes of Health Office of the Director awarded $529,283 to JB Healthtech, Inc. on September 1, 2026, under the Trans-NIH Research Support program (CFDA 93.310) to develop and advance a dual-mode wearable continuous non-invasive blood pressure monitor for enhanced diagnosis and clinical management of preeclampsia in pregnancy. The recipient is developing NeoBP, a highly accurate continuous non-invasive blood pressure device that operates in continuous mode to provide real-time arterial blood pressure waveforms or in intermittent mode for blood pressure snapshots. The technology uses model-based control methods to construct patient-specific pressure-volume functions and track blood pressure waveforms with precision, and incorporates artificial intelligence to address skin discoloration artifacts from cuff counter-pressure. The device targets the clinical need for frequent and highly accurate blood pressure monitoring in late-stage pregnancy, where hypertensive disorders of pregnancy and preeclampsia pose significant risks to maternal and fetal health and mortality. Performance is located in Rancho Santa Margarita, California. The period of performance runs from September 1, 2026, through August 31, 2027. This is a project grant, a form of assistance typically supporting development of innovative solutions to clinical problems.
