The broader impact /commercial potential of this Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I project is the development of a machine learning-enabled medical record summarization tool designed to provide a narrative summary that can aid physicians in patient care. On average, physicians spend just 3 minutes reviewing a patient’s medical record, and during this time they must interpret unst ...

The broader impact/commercial potential of this Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I project is to create reusable satellites that can refuel directly from the Earth’s atmosphere. These satellites will have two key advantages over the existing satellites. First, they will fly significantly lower than current satellites providing superior Earth Observation and satellite broadband com ...

The broader impact/commercial potential of this Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I project is that by improving the success rate of in vitro fertilization (IVF), this project will benefit assisted reproduction technology (ART) providers, infertile couples, and insurance companies. With infertility increasing globally, there is a huge potential market for ART services. However, curre ...

The broader impact/commercial potential of this Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase II project is to develop an oxygen nanobubble platform technology to treat ischemic diseases of the eye, specifically Central Retinal Artery Occlusion (CRAO). The projected market for CRAO is an estimated 6,400 cases/year or $64 million, annually. The immediate goal of this project is to secure an Inves ...

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 a technology to explore the utility in the ubiquity of iron on both Earth and Mars. The ores of many metals are iron-rich, mixed materials, including those of 33+ metals critical for a sustainable future. However, high iron content is a nuisance for most established metal extractions. For e ...

The broader impact/commercial potential of this Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I project is to improve the diagnosis of residual cancer cells, after treatment of cancer patients. The test will be conducted early and accurately using a simple blood draw. Twenty percent of cancer patients will experience cancer recurrence. Unfortunately, cancer recurrence is not diagnosed until year ...

The broader impact/commercial potential of this Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I project will establish the thermal and mechanical limits of novel, fiber-reinforced, plastic composite materials (FRPs) and pioneer a fast-manufacturing process for these FRPs. FRPs have the potential to achieve significant lightweighting and subsequent greenhouse gas emissions reductions by displacin ...

The broader/commercial impact of this Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I project is in accelerating the transition to a more sustainable food supply chain, which could democratize access to healthy foods and lessen food insecurity.The US system for growing and distributing fresh food is inefficient and insufficient in the context of climate change. Controlled environmental agricultu ...

The broader impact of this Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I project includes improving the reproducibility of automated life science workflows while simultaneously reducing their carbon footprint. Automated life science workflows are increasingly prevalent in medical (e.g., laboratory tests and diagnostics) and research (e.g., next generation sequencing) applications, and mixing i ...
