Preventing Vascular Complications in Type 1 Diabetes: Muscle Metabolic Monitoring Abstract Measurements of muscle metabolism and blood flow using near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) have progressively increased, as has the number of companies selling NIRS-based devices. This technology represents the present and future modality for non-invasively characterizing normal and abnormal muscle physiology ...

The broader impact/commercial potential of this Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I project will result from a focus on families with low socioeconomic status (SES), in whom adverse childhood experiences (ACE) and opioid use disorder (OUD) are common. Children of parents with OUD have higher incidences of ACE due to neglect, physical abuse, or domestic violence. ACE have life-long ad ...

The broader impact/commercial potential of this Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase II project is to reduce injuries and costs due to overexertion and heat strain in firefighting through a real-time, biometric monitoring system and accompanying analysis tools. This system collects each firefighter's vital signs and sends the data to authorized commanders for real-time strategic decisio ...
