SENSING AND INFORMATION FUSION FOR ANALYSIS USING MACHINE LEARNING TECHNIQUES

ULTRA WIDEBAND FALL DETECTION AND PREDICTION SOLUTION FOR PEOPLE LIVING WITH DEMENTIA - ABSTRACT: OLDER ADULTS WITH COGNITIVE IMPAIRMENT EXPERIENCE AN INCREASED RISK OF FALLING THAN THOSE WITHOUT COGNITIVE IMPAIRMENT. UNFORTUNATELY DETECTING FALLS OR ASSESSING FALL RISK AMONG PERSONS LIVING WITH DEMENTIA (PLWD) CAN BE CHALLENGING DUE TO DIFFICULTIES IN COLLECTING SELF-REPORTED INFORMATION OR COMMUNICATING FUNCTIONAL TEST INSTRUCTIONS. THE PROPOSED PROJECT WILL DEVELOP AND TEST AN AUTOMATED FALL DETECTION SYSTEM USING ULTRA WIDEBAND (UWB) BAND TECHNOLOGY. THE ADVANTAGE OF UWB, ALONG WITH WELL-ESTABLISHED ACCELEROMETER AND GYROSCOPE TECHNOLOGY, IS THAT IT PRODUCES A MORE PRECISE RESOLUTION (5-10CM) THAN BLUETOOTH (1-5M) OR WI-FI (5-10M). UWB’S REAL-TIME LOCATION TRACKING CAPACITY CAN ENHANCE FALL DETECTION ACCURACY AND CONTEXT, AND WITH A CALL ALERT SYSTEM REDUCE RESPONSE TIME. IN ADDITION, THE PROPOSED SYSTEM WILL COLLECT RICH MOBILITY DATA TO ENABLE THE DETECTION OF MOBILITY-RELATED FALL RISK (E.G., CHANGES IN GAIT AND BALANCE). THUS, IF SUCCESSFUL, THE PROPOSED SYSTEM IS EXPECTED TO SIMPLIFY AND ENHANCE MOBILITY-BASED FALL RISK, FALL DETECTION, AND QUICKLY SEND ALERTS FOR PLWD. BUILDING ON PRIOR WORK TO DEVELOP A FALL DETECTION SYSTEM PROTOTYPE, THIS FAST-TRACK APPLICATION PROPOSES TWO PHASES MOVING FROM LAB STUDIES TO REAL-WORLD APPLICATIONS. PHASE 1 WILL TEST THE ABILITY OF THEORA® 360, A NOVEL FALL DETECTION SYSTEM, TO DETECT SIMULATED FALLS IN A LABORATORY SETTING, WHETHER SENSOR LOCATION MAKES A DIFFERENCE IN FALL DETECTION ACCURACY AND INITIAL USER FEEDBACK. MILESTONES TO PROCEED TO THE NEXT PHASE ARE 90% SENSITIVITY AND 90% SPECIFICITY IN FALL DETECTION IN A LABORATORY SETTING AND CODIFICATION OF PROTOCOLS, PRELIMINARY ALGORITHMS, AND DATA PLATFORMS FOR 3D LOCATION PROCESSING, MOTION SENSING/ CATEGORIZATION, AND FALL DETECTION. PHASE 2 WILL ASSESS THEORA® 360’S ABILITY TO DETECT MOBILITY-BASED FALLS AMONG PLWD AND TO PREDICT CHANGES IN FALL RISK OVER TIME IN 60 CARE-RECIPIENT-CAREGIVER DYADS LIVING AT HOME. USING A PREVIOUSLY ESTABLISHED NEURAL NETWORK, CHANGES IN OVERALL MOBILITY, GAIT CHARACTERISTICS, AND DAILY ROUTINES WILL BE OBSERVED TO DEVELOP ALGORITHMS FOR ACTIVITY MODELING AND RISK PROFILING. FEEDBACK ON TECHNOLOGY USE AND USER SATISFACTION INCLUDING RECOMMENDATIONS FOR SOLUTION IMPROVEMENT WILL BE OBTAINED THROUGH TECHNOLOGY RECORDS, USABILITY SURVEYS, AND INTERVIEWS AT THE END OF THE STUDY. THUS, THE STUDY REPRESENTS A MIXED MODEL APPROACH WITH OBJECTIVE SENSOR DATA ON A 24/7 BASIS; FUNCTIONAL ASSESSMENTS, SURVEY DATA ASSESSING SOCIODEMOGRAPHIC, CARE, AND PSYCHOSOCIAL FACTORS COLLECTED FIVE TIMES THROUGHOUT THE STUDY, AND QUALITATIVE USABILITY DATA COLLECTED TOWARD THE END OF THE STUDY TO BETTER UNDERSTAND THE COMPLEXITY OF ASSESSING FALL RISKS AND COMMERCIALIZATION POTENTIAL OF THIS NEW TECHNOLOGY AMONG PLWD AND THEIR CAREGIVERS. ENVISIONED AS A CORPORATE-ACADEMIC PARTNERSHIP BETWEEN CLAIRVOYANT NETWORKS AND TEXAS A&M UNIVERSITY CENTER FOR COMMUNITY HEALTH AND AGING, THIS PROPOSAL DRAWS UPON EXPERTISE IN BUSINESS, AGING, DEMENTIA, PUBLIC HEALTH, CLINICAL SCIENCES, COMPUTER SCIENCES, AND ENGINEERING, AND WILL BENEFIT FROM THE INPUT OF A DISTINGUISHED ADVISORY GROUP.

SBIR PHASE I: INTELLIGENT REPEATERS FOR PERVASIVE MILLIMETER-WAVE WIRELESS BROADBAND CONNECTIVITY -THIS SMALL BUSINESS INNOVATION RESEARCH (SBIR) PHASE I PROJECT SEEKS TO ENABLE PERVASIVE, NEXT-GENERATION, MOBILE BROADBAND CONNECTIVITY ACROSS THE UNITED STATES THROUGH THE DEVELOPMENT OF AN INTELLIGENT WIRELESS REPEATER. EQUAL ACCESS TO HIGH-SPEED BROADBAND CONNECTIVITY IS INTEGRAL TO THE ECONOMIC SECURITY AND COMPETITIVENESS OF THE UNITED STATES. HOWEVER, WIDESPREAD DISPARITIES IN BROADBAND ACCESS CONTINUE TO PERSIST, ESPECIALLY IN UNDERSERVED URBAN AND RURAL AREAS. THIS PROJECT WILL TRANSFORM THE ECONOMICS AND COMPLEXITY OF DELIVERING ULTRA-HIGH THROUGHPUT WIRELESS CONNECTIVITY OVER LARGE AREAS. THE ASSOCIATED TOTAL ADDRESSABLE MARKET IS EXPECTED TO REACH $660 MILLION BY 2027 AT A COMPOUND ANNUAL GROWTH RATE OF 59%. THE SUCCESSFUL DEVELOPMENT OF THE HARDWARE AND SOFTWARE SOLUTIONS IN THIS PROJECT WILL DISRUPT THE TELECOMMUNICATIONS INDUSTRY AND PAVE THE WAY FOR OPTIMAL USAGE OF NEW HIGH-FREQUENCY SPECTRUM BANDS, THEREBY UNLOCKING THE POTENTIAL OF NEXT-GENERATION MOBILE BROADBAND CONNECTIVITY. THIS SMALL BUSINESS INNOVATION RESEARCH (SBIR) PHASE I PROJECT ADDRESSES THE CURRENT SHORTCOMINGS OF FIFTH GENERATION (5G) WIRELESS NETWORKS THAT HAVE FAILED TO PROVIDE GIGABIT-LEVEL DATA RATES AND SUB-MILLISECOND LATENCY ACROSS WIDE AREAS. THIS FAILURE IS BECAUSE MILLIMETER-WAVE 5G NETWORKS AT FREQUENCIES OF 28 GHZ AND HIGHER HAVE VERY POOR PROPAGATION RANGE, AND BUILDING A HYPER-DENSE NETWORK OF MILLIMETER WAVE BASE STATIONS FOR PERVASIVE COVERAGE IS PROHIBITIVELY EXPENSIVE. MILLIMETER WAVE REPEATERS ARE AN APPEALING SOLUTION TO EXTEND NETWORK COVERAGE AT A FRACTION OF THE COST OF DEPLOYING NEW BASE STATIONS, SINCE THEY HAVE A SIMPLER SOFTWARE STACK AND DO NOT REQUIRE FIBER BACKHAUL. HOWEVER, NETWORK OPERATORS HAVE A STRONG AVERSION TO DEPLOYING REPEATERS TODAY SINCE CURRENT REPEATERS HAVE FIXED TRANSMISSION POWER AND BEAM DIRECTIONS REGARDLESS OF THE ACTUAL TRAFFIC CONDITIONS ON THE MACRO NETWORK, WHICH INCREASES INTER-CELL INTERFERENCE AND REDUCES SPECTRAL EFFICIENCY. THE CORRESPONDING LACK OF PERVASIVE MILLIMETER WAVE 5G COVERAGE EXACERBATES THE DIGITAL DIVIDE IN THE U.S. AND HARMS THE NATIONAL AND ECONOMIC SECURITY. THIS SBIR PHASE I EFFORT WILL DESIGN AND PROTOTYPE AN INTELLIGENT 5G REPEATER THAT ADDRESSES THESE PAIN POINTS. THIS AWARD REFLECTS NSF'S STATUTORY MISSION AND HAS BEEN DEEMED WORTHY OF SUPPORT THROUGH EVALUATION USING THE FOUNDATION'S INTELLECTUAL MERIT AND BROADER IMPACTS REVIEW CRITERIA.- SUBAWARDS ARE PLANNED FOR THIS AWARD.

SBIR PHASE I: FILE-BASED DIGITAL ASSETS -THE BROADER IMPACT/COMMERCIAL POTENTIAL OF THIS SMALL BUSINESS INNOVATION RESEARCH (SBIR) PROJECT IS TO DEVELOP A NOVEL TECHNICAL APPROACH TO REGULATED FORMS OF DIGITAL MONEY AND SECURITIES, INCLUDING MONEY AND GOVERNMENT SECURITIES, COMMERCIAL BANK MONEY AND CORPORATE SECURITIES, AND OTHERS VIA TOKENIZATION OF FILE-BASED DIGITAL ASSETS (FBDAS). TOKENIZATION REPRESENTS A NEW FRONTIER IN FINANCE THAT WAS ORIGINALLY PIONEERED IN BLOCKCHAIN AND CRYPTOCURRENCY, AND HAS MANY COMMERCIAL APPLICATIONS TO MAKE PAYMENTS AND SECURITIES SETTLEMENT FASTER, MORE TRANSPARENT, AND MORE RELIABLE IN THE CURRENT REGULATORY ENVIRONMENT. FBDAS ARE NOT BLOCKCHAIN BASED AND CAN IMPROVE UPON EXISTING GLOBAL PAYMENT SOLUTIONS IN MAKING SYSTEMS MORE SCALABLE, EASIER TO INTEGRATE WITH OTHER PAYMENT SYSTEMS, AND MORE PRIVACY-ENHANCING FOR INSTITUTIONS AND CONSUMERS. THE PLATFORM ALSO ALLOWS FOR OPEN SOURCING AND INCREASED FINANCIAL INCLUSION THROUGH THE DIGITAL IDENTITY SOLUTION WHICH GIVES THE ABILITY TO MOVE ASSETS WITHOUT FRICTION GLOBALLY. THE COMMERCIAL POTENTIAL OF FBDAS IS SIGNIFICANT, AND TOKENIZATION PRODUCTS CAN BE SOLD TO DOMESTIC AND INTERNATIONAL COMMERCIAL AND CENTRAL BANKS, AND ALLOW THIRD-PARTY PROVIDERS TO BUILD OUT THEIR OWN FINANCIAL PRODUCTS. THIS PROJECT WILL EXPLORE THE TECHNICAL MARKET FOR FBDA-BASED TOKENIZATION AND GAIN USER FEEDBACK TO IMPROVE THE TECHNOLOGY?S COMMERCIALIZATION POTENTIAL. THIS SBIR PHASE I PROJECT PROPOSES TO RESEARCH AND CREATE A PRODUCTION-READY (99.999% AVAILABILITY WITH DEFINED RPO/RTOS) FILE-BASED DIGITAL ASSETS (FBDAS) PRODUCT, A NOVEL TOKENIZATION SCHEME APPLICABLE TO NOT ONLY CURRENCIES AND TOKENIZED DEPOSITS, BUT ALSO TO SECURITIES AND OTHER ASSETS. FBDAS IMPROVE UPON MANY OF THE ISSUES THAT DISTRIBUTED LEDGER TECHNOLOGY (DLT) AND TRADITIONAL DATABASE SYSTEMS HAVE, PARTICULARLY IN THE REALMS OF SCALABILITY, INTEROPERABILITY, PRIVACY, AND PROGRAMMABILITY. FBDAS UTILIZE A FLEXIBLE FIXED-DENOMINATION ASSET DESIGN THAT IS SIMPLER AND MORE ROBUST THAN UNSPENT TRANSACTION OUTPUT UTXO-BASED SYSTEMS WHILE BEATING THE PERFORMANCE OF ACCOUNT-BASED SYSTEMS. IN ADDITION, FBDAS ALLOW FOR A DISAGGREGATION OF THE ASSET LAYER FROM THE TRANSACTION LAYER, THEREBY ALLOWING FOR EASIER SEPARATION OF PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION (PII) AND FROM PROGRAMMABILITY RULES FOR SPECIFIC TRANSACTIONS. THE PHASE I PROJECT PROPOSES TO FURTHER EXPLORE DIFFERENT DESIGN CHOICES OF FBDAS AND GET TECHNICAL AND CUSTOMER VALIDATION ON ACHIEVING SCALABILITY, INTEROPERABILITY AND PRIVACY PRIOR TO LARGE SCALE COMMERCIALIZATION. THE PHASE I PROJECT WILL INCLUDE A SANDBOX ENVIRONMENT TO TEST OUT DIFFERENT ARCHITECTURAL SETUPS, MODELING OF DIFFERENT FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS TO EXPAND TOKENIZATION POTENTIAL, AND TO RECEIVE CUSTOMER FEEDBACK FROM REAL-WORLD FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS. THIS AWARD REFLECTS NSF'S STATUTORY MISSION AND HAS BEEN DEEMED WORTHY OF SUPPORT THROUGH EVALUATION USING THE FOUNDATION'S INTELLECTUAL MERIT AND BROADER IMPACTS REVIEW CRITERIA.- SUBAWARDS ARE NOT PLANNED FOR THIS AWARD.

STAGGERING INEQUALITIES IN BROADBAND ACCESS BETWEEN URBAN AND RURAL AREAS CONTINUE TO PERSIST IN THEUNITED STATES. ACCORDING TO THE FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION (FCC), 22.3% OF AMERICANSIN RURAL AREAS AND 27.7% OF AMERICANS IN TRIBAL LANDS LACK COVERAGE FROM FIXED TERRESTRIALBROADBAND, AS COMPARED TO ONLY 1.5% IN URBAN AREAS. A LACK OF ACCESS TO BROADBAND HAS SERIOUSNEGATIVE CONSEQUENCES FOR RURAL HEALTH AND DIGITAL INCLUSIVITY.TIAMI LLC'S SOLUTION FOR THE RURAL BROADBAND GAP IS A REPEATER COORDINATION METHOD THAT TRANSLATES5G MOBILE NETWORK FREQUENCIES TO TV WHITE SPACE AND EFFECTIVELY DOUBLES TVWS TRANSMISSIONRANGE IN A COST-EFFECTIVE MANNER.TIAMI'S FIRST INNOVATION IS TO COORDINATE TWO GEOGRAPHICALLY SEPARATED AND COMPACT TVWS DEVICESTO ACHIEVE THE EQUIVALENT RANGE OF A MUCH LARGER MULTI-ANTENNA SYSTEM WITHOUT HAVING TO DEPLOY AGIGANTIC MONOLITHIC DEVICE. TIAMI'S SECOND INNOVATION IS TO LEVERAGE EXISTING 5G NETWORKS FORBACKHAUL, THEREBY ELIMINATING THE COST OF BUILDING AN ENTIRE NETWORK FROM SCRATCH THAT CATERS TO ONLYRURAL USERS. THE EFFORTS IN THE PHASE I PERIOD TO DESIGN AND EVALUATE THE PERFORMANCE OF CREWS ANDITS EFFECTIVENESS IN RURAL PROPAGATION CHANNELS ARE CRITICAL FOR PROGRESSING TO PHASE II. THE PHASE ISTUDY WILL IDENTIFY THE OPTIMAL RADIO CARRIER FREQUENCY AND BANDWIDTH FOR THE SYSTEM, PERFORM APERFORMANCE EVALUATION OF THE EXPECTED DATA RATE AND COVERAGE AREA FOR DIFFERENT RURAL RADIOPROPAGATION PROFILES, AND CHARACTERIZE THE ANTICIPATED SIZE, WEIGHT AND POWER (SWAP) REQUIREMENTSOF THE REPEATER.

PURPOSE: TIAMI PROPOSES TO DESIGN A ZERO-TRUST CYBERSECURITY ARCHITECTURE TAILORED TO C-V2X COMMUNICATIONS. PRESENT TECHNOLOGY IS VULNERABLE TO A BROAD RANGE OF SECURITY THREATS DUE TO THE BROADCAST NATURE OF THE WIRELESS MEDIUM, AND MALICIOUS ACTORS WHICH CAN EASILY INDUCE FATAL INCIDENTS. THE PROPOSED ARCHITECTURE WILL PREVENT A MULTITUDE OF ATTACKS SUCH AS BROADCAST MESSAGE SPOOFING, MAN-IN-THE-MIDDLE, DENIAL-OF-SERVICE, AND SYNCREF TIMING REFERENCE SPOOFING ON CONNECTED VEHICLES.ACTIVITIES TO BE PERFORMED: DURING PHASE I, A ZERO-TRUST CYBERSECURITY ARCHITECTURE TAILORED TO C-V2X WILL BE DEVELOPED THAT DECREASES THE VULNERABILITY OF EXISTING WIRELESS TECHNOLOGY.EXPECTED OUTCOMES: TECHNOLOGY DEVELOPMENT UNDER THIS PHASE I IS EXPECTED TO PREVENT A MULTITUDE OF ATTACKS SUCH AS BROADCAST MESSAGE SPOOFING, MAN-IN-THE-MIDDLE, DENIAL-OF-SERVICE, AND SYNCREF TIMING REFERENCE SPOOFING ON CONNECTED VEHICLES.INTENDED BENEFICIARIES: THE AWARDEE'S INTENDED BENEFICIARIES ARE THE AUTOMOTIVE AND TELECOMMUNICATION SECTORS. ADOPTION OF C-V2X TECHNOLOGY IS GROWING AT AN ACCELERATED RATE. GM AND FORD ARE CURRENTLY LEADING ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT MANUFACTURER ADOPTION OF C-V2X IN THE US. IN THE TELECOMMUNICATION SECTOR C-V2X INFRASTRUCTURE BY US CARRIERS LIKE AT&T AND VERIZON WILL ALSO DRIVE GROWTH AS THEY ROLL OUT COMPATIBILITY WITH 5G NETWORKS.SUBRECIPIENT ACTIVITIES: NO CONSULTANTS, CONTRACTS AND SUBAWARDS WILL BE USED IN PHASE I.

PURPOSE: TIAMI PROPOSES THE USE OF PUBLIC DIGITAL TELEVISION (DTV) STATIONS AS POSITIONING BEACONS FOR USE AS A THREE-DIMENSIONAL INDOOR TRACKING SYSTEM. THIS SYSTEM WILL ASSIST WITH FIRST RESPONDER SITUATIONAL AWARENESS WITH VARIOUS TYPES OF BUILDING STRUCTURES SUCH AS TUNNELS AND BASEMENTS WHERE CURRENT GLOBAL POSITIONING SYSTEMS (GPS) COVERAGE IS UNAVAILABLE.ACTIVITIES TO BE PERFORMED: PHASE I ACTIVITIES WILL INCLUDE THE FOLLOWING:1. DESIGN AND EVALUATE A SIGNAL PROCESSING ALGORITHM THAT EMPLOYS SIGNALS RECEIVED FROM MULTIPLE DTV STATIONS TO INFER THE RECEIVERS 3D COORDINATES.2. EVALUATE POSITIONING PERFORMANCE IN DIFFERENT GPS-DENIED ENVIRONMENTS.3. DESIGN THE INTERFACE TO DISSEMINATE POSITION ESTIMATES OVER LMR OR MCPTT COMMUNICATIONS LINKS.4. CREATE A HARDWARE AND SOFTWARE REFERENCE DESIGN FOR RECEIVER PROTOTYPING AND ESTIMATE THE PROTOTYPE SWAP-C PROFILE.EXPECTED OUTCOMES: SUCCESSFUL RESULTS OF PHASE I WOULD HAVE A MAJOR IMPACT ON N SAFEGUARDING THE SAFETY OF FIRST RESPONDERS EVEN IN GPS-DENIED ENVIRONMENTS AND RESULT IN THE FOLLOWING BENEFITS:1. A COMPACT, ROBUST, AND COST-EFFECTIVE POSITIONING SOLUTION THAT REQUIRES MINIMAL USER TRAINING AND IS USABLE WHEREVER DIGITAL TV STATIONS ARE IN COVERAGE.2. NO NEED FOR THE EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT COMMUNITY TO INVEST IN NEW TRANSMITTERS OR INFRASTRUCTURE, SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCING UPGRADE AND OWNERSHIP COSTS.INTENDED BENEFICIARIES: TIAMIS DTV-BASED SOLUTION ADDRESSES BOTH CONSUMER AND FIRST RESPONDER APPLICATIONS FOR POSITION TRACKING IN GPS-DENIED ENVIRONMENTS WITHOUT MOBILE NETWORK COVERAGE. SPECIFIC BENEFICIARIES INCLUDE FEDERAL AGENCIES SUCH AS FEMA, CUSTOMS AND BORDER PATROL, U.S. IMMIGRATION AND CUSTOMS ENFORCEMENT, STATE, AND LOCAL GOVERNMENTS AND TRIBAL FIRST RESPONDER AGENCIES IN THE U.S.SUBRECIPIENT ACTIVITIES: THE RECIPIENT DOES NOT INTEND TO SUBAWARD FUNDS.
