The broader impact/commercial potential of this Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I project is to provide private and public stakeholders with new technological tools to better monitor and predict pandemics. This project is expected to modernize the tools used today by private and public laboratories to collect and purify pathogens, particularly human coronaviruses from community was ...

The broader impact/commercial potential of this Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I project is a novel and emerging method for treating a subset of heart failure patients. Despite modern medical regimen and device therapies, heart failure affects 6 million Americans and remains a leading cause of death and hospitalization in the United States. The proposed system and approach aim to ...

The broader/commercial impact of this Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I project is the development of Artificial Intelligence (AI)-based algorithms that generate content for word-meaning video games at an affordable cost. Word-meaning games support literacy, fluency, critical thinking, and cross-cultural understanding for players of all ages and backgrounds via adaptive vocabulary ...

The broader impact/commercial potential of this Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I project is the improvement in hospital laboratory results by automating and standardizing a manual test procedure that is critical for the diagnosis of infections. Faster, higher quality and less expensive test results will help to ensure that patients receive timely treatment with the appropriate med ...

The broader impact/commercial potential of this Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I project is to improve early detection and clinical management of bacteremia in patients suspected of bacterial sepsis. Over 250,000 patients die of sepsis each year in the U.S., which results in hospitalization costs exceeding $20 billion. A sepsis patient’s risk of death has been demonstrated to in ...

he broader/commercial impact of this Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I project is to develop an autonomous, robotic inspection system to eliminate manual inspection methods in confined and dangerous spaces. The innovation will use a robot to provide quantitative condition and emissions data for an estimated 150,000 floating roof tanks in the nation’s aging infrastructure. The Env ...
