This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS), under the Extramural Research Programs in the Neurosciences and Neurological Disorders (CFDA 93.853) program, is funding the development of an innovative portable device to rapidly detect and monitor traumatic brain injury (TBI) biomarkers. The $332,122 award to Hemex Health Inc. aims to create a point-of-care diagnostic platform that can quickly analyze whole blood samples to identify elevated levels of FDA-approved TBI biomarkers. This device is designed to provide quantitative data on TBI severity that can be monitored over time, enabling faster diagnosis and treatment decisions in emergency and remote settings. The final product will be a compact, disposable device capable of generating biomarker concentration reports within minutes, supporting improved TBI management and potentially leading to new drug therapies.
