The broader/commercial impact of this SBIR phase II project will develop magnetic and fluorescent reagents for the separation and analysis of cells from tissue samples stored in biobanks, central repositories for biological samples, including tissues, cells, blood, sera, and urine, and their associated patient data, used in research to identify new methods to diagnose and treat disease; this indus ...

The broader impact/commercial potential of this Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase II project is to further develop the technical functionality of its cohort recruitment tool that will advance efforts to launch a production quality substance abuse disorder (SUD) research platform designed for use by addiction researchers at universities, academic medical centers, and commercial sector ...

The broader impact of this Small Business Innovations Research (SBIR) Phase I project will be to improve access to digital content by the vision impaired community. This access will improve the quality of life for the vision impaired as well as improve the probability of employment. Multiple studies have shown a connection between Braille literacy and employment rates. Creating a tactile display n ...

The broader impact/commercial potential of this Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I project will result from the development of a quick, easy, and accurate way to count cattle and detect bovine illnesses on feedlots and ranches via Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs). Current methods for counting cattle are extremely time-consuming or inaccurate, and sometimes both. Additionally, bovine ...

The broader impact/commercial potential of this Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I project is in the development of a highly biocompatible implant material made from collagen that can be used to treat a variety of medical conditions, including stress urinary incontinence, pelvic organ prolapse, hernias, and orthopedic injuries. Many people suffer from these conditions, but the curre ...

This STTR Phase I project will scale up and characterize a new pressure sensor technology that has the potential to create an affordable, accessible shoe insert that accurately measures, stride-for-stride, an individual's gait (running or walking form) in real time and in the real world. Gait analysis is used in a wide variety of settings. However, the use of gait analysis to prevent injury, impro ...

The broader impact of this Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I Project is to enhance the well-being of babies and the quality of life of their caregivers and/or parents. Each week more than 2.5 million members of "Generation Alpha" are born globally to parents who expect and require technology driven feedback and support. Currently, this is not available in the area of sleep-time clo ...

The broader impact/commercial potential of this Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) Phase II project is about addressing pulmonary embolism as the third most common cause of death for hospitalized patients. Current modalities for treating pulmonary embolism are effective for most cases with the exception of the acute massive and submassive patients (45% of patients). The company's product is ...

The broader impact/commercial potential of this Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I project is a breakthrough power source for small electronic devices that will move the reality of smart cities and smart rural areas closer to the vision. The center piece of the innovation is the wide bandgap semiconductor betavoltaic power source, essentially an innovative nuclear-based micro-batter ...

This Small Business Innovation Research Phase I project enables key proof points behind the novel concept of a hand-held medical robot, i.e. use of a medical robot to autonomously perform a task during which neither the robot not the patient is fixed in space. The potential outcome of this project is a comprehensive line of robotic ultrasound transducers that enable a variety of interventional poi ...
