This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute on Minority Health and Health Disparities (CFDA 93.307 - Minority Health and Health Disparities Research) provides $298,772 to Rhaeos, Inc. to develop and evaluate a novel wearable device called FlowSense. The device aims to enable non-invasive, wireless monitoring of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) flow for pediatric hydrocephalus patients in Puerto Rico.

The key objectives of this 6-month project are: 1) Evaluating the FlowSense device's utility in a home setting with 20 pediatric hydrocephalus patients in Puerto Rico, facilitated by video conferencing and cellular data transmission; and 2) Developing a user-friendly, bilingual (Spanish and English) smartphone application to operate the FlowSense device and record real-time CSF flow data. This project seeks to address the challenges of limited access to pediatric neurosurgeons and the financial burden of frequent hospital visits for hydrocephalus management in Puerto Rico.
