SBIR PHASE II: ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE (AI)-ENABLED ULTRASOUND FOR IMAGING AND DIAGNOSING MUSCULOSKELETAL INJURIES -THE BROADER IMPACT/COMMERCIAL POTENTIAL OF THIS SMALL BUSINESS INNOVATION RESEARCH (SBIR) PHASE II PROJECT IS TO IMPROVE MUSCULOSKELETAL ULTRASOUND (MSK-US) DIAGNOSTICS THROUGH AI-POWERED GUIDANCE TECHNOLOGY. THIS INNOVATION COULD DEMOCRATIZE THE USE OF ULTRASOUND BY ENABLING NOVICE PRACTITIONERS TO PERFORM ACCURATE MSK-US EVALUATIONS AT THE POINT OF CARE. MUSCULOSKELETAL INJURIES ACCOUNT FOR 77% OF INJURY-RELATED HEALTHCARE VISITS IN THE U.S. YET UP TO 85% OF THOSE INJURIES ARE UNDER OR MISDIAGNOSED ON THE FIRST VISIT. THE COMMERCIAL IMPACT OF THE TECHNOLOGY COULD BE SUBSTANTIAL, AS WIDESPREAD ADOPTION FOSTERS A COMPETITIVE HEALTHCARE MARKET, ATTRACTS INVESTMENT, AND STRENGTHENS THE U.S. AS A LEADER IN MEDICAL AND AI INNOVATION. THE TECHNOLOGY ALSO HAS APPLICATIONS IN MILITARY HEALTHCARE, WHERE IT CAN IMPROVE INJURY DIAGNOSTICS FOR SERVICE MEMBERS IN THE FIELD, OR AFTER SERVICE THROUGH THE VETERAN?S ADMINISTRATION SYSTEM, WHERE IMAGING OVERUSE WAS FOUND TO GREATLY CONTRIBUTE TO COSTS. BY INTEGRATING AI-DRIVEN IMAGING, THIS PROJECT ADVANCES SCIENTIFIC UNDERSTANDING, PROMOTES HEALTHCARE ACCESS, AND PROMOTES ECONOMIC GROWTH. THE PROPOSED PROJECT INTEGRATES AI WITH MEDICAL IMAGING, ADDRESSING CRITICAL CHALLENGES IN MUSCULOSKELETAL DIAGNOSTIC ULTRASOUND UTILIZATION. ULTRASOUND HAS LONG BEEN RECOGNIZED AS AN ACCURATE AND COST EFFECTIVE MEANS TO DIAGNOSE MUSCULOSKELETAL INJURIES. HOWEVER, PRACTITIONERS CURRENTLY EXPERIENCE A STEEP AND TIME CONSUMING LEARNING CURVE TO BECOME PROFICIENT WITH THE USE OF ULTRASOUND. THIS IS IN LARGE PART THE REASON ULTRASOUND HAS NOT BECOME WIDELY ADOPTED ACROSS THE U.S. HEALTHCARE SYSTEM. THE RESEARCH GOALS INCLUDE DEVELOPING A LARGE DATABASE OF MUSCULOSKELETAL IMAGES, LABELED FOR THE USE OF AI TRAINING, SCALING TISSUE RECOGNITION, AND DEVELOPING AI BASED GUIDANCE THAT ALLOWS ANY NOVICE PRACTITIONERS TO BE GUIDED THROUGH THE AUTOMATED CAPTURE OF DIAGNOSABLE MUSCULOSKELETAL IMAGES. ONCE COLLECTED, DIAGNOSABLE IMAGES WILL BE SENT TO THE CLOUD FOR DIAGNOSIS AND SUMMARY. THIS TECHNOLOGY WILL BE DEVICE AGNOSTIC, AVAILABLE FOR INTEGRATION WITH ANY ULTRASOUND VENDOR. 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.

HYBRID REPELLANT-ANTIMICROBIAL GEMINI COATINGS FOR PREVENTION OF CATHETER-ASSOCIATED BLOODSTREAM INFECTIONS - PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT OVER 20% OF THE HEMODIALYSIS PATIENTS DEVELOP LIFE-THREATENING CENTRAL LINE-ASSOCIATED BLOODSTREAM INFECTIONS (CLABSIS). ACCORDING TO THE CDC, >250,000 CLABSIS, HAVING MORTALITY RATES OF 14-40%, OCCUR IN THE US ANNUALLY, AND AMONG THEM >100,000 CASES ARE DIRECTLY RELATED TO HEMODIALYSIS CENTRAL VENOUS CATHETER (CVC). ONE OF THE TOOLS CURRENTLY USED TO REDUCE CLABSIS IS THE USE OF ANTIMICROBIAL CVCS. HOWEVER, THE CURRENT ANTIMICROBIAL CVCS REMAIN SUSCEPTIBLE TO BIOFOULING (I.E., BIOFILM FORMATION) AS THEY DO NOT DISPLAY REPELLENCY TO BIOFOULANTS. IN OTHER WORDS, HOST BIOMOLECULES AND CELLULAR DEBRIS FROM DEAD MICROORGANISMS CAN ACCUMULATE UPON THEIR SURFACE, THEREBY FACILITATING ADHERENCE OF LIVING MICROBIA AND THEIR ASSOCIATED BIOFILMS. IN ADDITION, MOST ANTIMICROBIAL CVCS FUNCTION BY GRADUALLY RELEASING EMBEDDED BIOCIDES/ANTIBIOTICS WITH RISK OF DEVELOPING ANTIMICROBIAL RESISTANCE. TO ADDRESS THE PROBLEMS, WE HYPOTHESIZED THAT INCORPORATING BIOFILM-REPELLENT ZWITTERIONIC MOIETIES TOGETHER WITH ANTIMICROBIAL GEMINI DICATIONIC MOIETIES INTO CVC SURFACES, A SYNERGISTIC EFFECT COULD BE REALIZED. OUR PRELIMINARY STUDY CONFIRMED THE SYNERGETIC EFFECT. TECHNOLOGY INNOVATION IS 1) THE NEW CVC SURFACE COVALENTLY IMMOBILIZED WITH GEMINI DICATIONIC MOIETIES TO PROVIDE BEST-IN-CLASS ANTIMICROBIAL PROPERTIES WITHOUT CONCERNS OF DEVELOPMENT OF ANTIMICROBIAL RESISTANCE; AND 2) THE NEW CVC SURFACE CONTAINING BOTH BIOFILM-REPELLANT AND ANTIMICROBIAL MOIETIES TO OVERCOME THE DEFICIENCIES OF EACH ALONE TO PREVENT THE ROOT CAUSE OF CLABSIS. TO DEMONSTRATE THE FEASIBILITY OF OUR TECHNOLOGY, IN AIM 1, WE WILL MAXIMIZE THE SYNERGETIC EFFECT BY ITERATIVELY OPTIMIZING THE RATIO BETWEEN THE ANTIMICROBIAL AND REPELLENT MOIETIES WITH RESPECT TO ANTIMICROBIAL EFFICACY, BIOFILM REPELLENCY, COATING ANTI-INFECTIVE DURABILITY, OVER VARYING TIMEFRAMES. IN AIM 2, WE WILL PRODUCE PROTOTYPE HYBRID CVCS, AND COMPARE THEIR INFECTION RISKS RELATIVE TO COMMERCIAL ANTIMICROBIAL CVCS AGAINST PATHOGENS RESPONSIBLE FOR >90% OF CLABSIS. IN AIM 3, WE WILL EVALUATE BIO- AND HEMO-COMPATIBILITY OF THE PROTOTYPES USING ASSAYS SPECIFIED IN ISO 10993-4 FOR HEMOLYSIS, COAGULATION, COMPLEMENT-ACTIVATION, AND INFLAMMATION AS WELL AS LEACHATE TOXICITY. EXPECTED OUTCOMES IN THIS PHASE I INCLUDE >20% REDUCTIONS IN PROLIFERATION, ANTIMICROBIAL, AND BIOFILM ASSAYS WITH A SIMILAR/BETTER BLOOD COMPATIBILITY COMPARED TO CURRENT ANTIMICROBIAL CVCS. >20% REDUCTION IN THE NATIONAL INFECTION RATE WITH OUR CVC PRODUCT WOULD PREVENT >50,000 CLABSIS, SAVING >16,000 LIVES AND >$500 MILLION DIRECT HEALTHCARE COSTS EACH YEAR. PHASE II WILL INCLUDE IN-VIVO STUDIES TO ENSURE ACCURATE TRANSLATION OF IN-VITRO AND EX-VIVO PROPERTIES. IN PHASE II, WE WILL ALSO INITIATE PRODUCTION OF OUR PROTOTYPE CVCS AT A FDA CGMP COMPLIANT MANUFACTURING FACILITY, SUBSEQUENTLY APPLY FOR 510(K) CLEARANCE FOR SUBSEQUENT CLINICAL EVALUATION. OUR SERVICEABLE OBTAINABLE MARKET (SOM) IS THE US CVC MARKET, ESTIMATED TO GROW $1.3 BILLION IN 2026. AS OUR HYBRID-COATING CAN BE APPLIED TO NEARLY ALL TYPES OF CATHETERS INCLUDING IV AND URINARY TRACT CATHETERS, THE TOTAL AVAILABLE MARKET (TAM) IS THE GLOBAL CATHETER MARKET, EXPECTED TO REACH $74.8 BILLION BY 2028.

CELL TYPE-SPECIFIC GENE THERAPY APPROACH FOR TOMT-LINKED CONGENITAL HEARING LOSS - PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT HEARING LOSS IS ONE OF THE MOST PREVALENT SENSORY DEFICITS, YET THERE ARE NO FDA-APPROVED BIOLOGICAL THERAPIES. THERE ARE OVER 100 DISTINCT FORMS OF NONSYNDROMIC GENETIC HEARING LOSS, EACH CAUSED BY MUTATIONS IN DIFFERENT GENES. ADVANCES IN ADENO-ASSOCIATED VIRAL (AAV)-BASED GENE THERAPIES FOR OTOFERLIN-LINKED GENETIC HEARING LOSS HAVE SHOWN GREAT PROMISE FOR TRANSLATING THERAPEUTICS DEVELOPED IN MOUSE MODELS TO HUMANS. HOWEVER, MANY CHALLENGES EXIST, AND MOST GENE THERAPIES LEAD TO INCOMPLETE HEARING RESTORATION AND MAY CAUSE SIDE EFFECTS. NAMELY, THE COCHLEAR EXPRESSION PATTERNS AND LEVELS, AND THE STRUCTURAL AND FUNCTIONAL IMPACTS OF DEAFNESS- LINKED MUTATIONS ARE GENE- AND CELL-TYPE-SPECIFIC. THUS, A ONE-SIZE-FITS-ALL APPROACH IS NOT OPTIMAL FOR HEARING LOSS GENE THERAPIES, AND THE DEVELOPMENT OF PRECISION, CELL-TYPE-SPECIFIC THERAPIES IS AN ESSENTIAL UNMET NEED. TO ESTABLISH A CELL-TYPE-SPECIFIC, PRECISION MEDICINE APPROACH FOR MAXIMAL THERAPEUTIC BENEFIT AND MINIMAL ADVERSE EFFECTS, WE FORMED ECHOGENESIS THERAPEUTICS. WE USED A COMPUTATIONAL APPROACH WITH IN VIVO SCREENING OF CANDIDATES TO GENERATE CANDIDATE CELL-TYPE-SPECIFIC GENOMIC PROMOTER FRAGMENTS FOR PRECISE THERAPEUTIC EXPRESSION. USING THIS PLATFORM APPROACH, WE DISCOVERED A NOVEL PROMOTER THAT IS HIGHLY SPECIFIC FOR COCHLEAR HAIR CELLS. HERE, WE PRESENT PROOF-OF-CONCEPT OF OUR PLATFORM FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF OUR FIRST TARGET CELL-TYPE-SPECIFIC THERAPY FOR CONGENITAL GENETIC HEARING LOSS. MUTATIONS IN TOMT/LRTOMT/COMT2 (TOMT) CAUSE PROFOUND HEARING LOSS IN HUMANS—0.5% TO 8% OF ALL CASES OF GENETIC HEARING LOSS, DEPENDING ON THE POPULATION SAMPLED. MOUSE MODELS WITH TOMT MUTATIONS FAITHFULLY RECAPITULATE THE HUMAN HEARING LOSS PHENOTYPE. CONSISTENT WITH OUR HYPOTHESIS FOR THE NEED FOR CELL-TYPE-SPECIFIC GENE THERAPIES, WE FOUND THAT INNER- EAR DELIVERY OF TOMT DRIVEN BY GENE THERAPIES UTILIZING PROMOTERS CURRENTLY USED FOR HEARING LOSS GENE THERAPY LED TO SIGNIFICANT HEARING LOSS, AS EVIDENCED BY ELEVATED AUDITORY BRAINSTEM RESPONSE (ABR) THRESHOLDS IN NORMAL HEARING MICE. USING OUR NOVEL HAIR-CELL-TYPE-SPECIFIC PROMOTER, WE FOUND THAT OUR CELL-TYPE SPECIFIC APPROACH: 1) IS MUCH MORE SPECIFIC FOR HAIR CELLS THAN OTHER PROMOTERS; 2) SIGNIFICANTLY RESTORES ABR THRESHOLDS IN CONGENITALLY DEAF TOMT MUTANT MICE; AND 3) DOES NOT CAUSE HEARING DEFICITS IN NORMAL HEARING MICE, IN CONTRAST TO OTHER THERAPIES. THIS STTR PHASE I PROJECT WILL ADDRESS THE EFFICACY OF OUR AAV-BASED CELL-TYPE-SPECIFIC GENE THERAPY EXPRESSING HUMAN TOMT IN CONGENITALLY DEAF TOMT MUTANT MICE FOR HEARING RESTORATION. SPECIFICALLY, WE WILL 1) DETERMINE EFFECTIVE GENE THERAPY DOSAGES FOR HEARING RESTORATION; 2) DETERMINE THE TIMING WINDOW FOR THERAPEUTIC INTERVENTION; AND 3) DETERMINE THE DURATION OF THE THERAPEUTIC BENEFIT. OVERALL, OUR FINDINGS WILL HAVE SIGNIFICANT IMPLICATIONS FOR PATIENTS WITH HEREDITARY HEARING LOSS, INCLUDING THOSE WITH TOMT MUTATIONS, AND BROADER IMPACTS TOWARD IMPROVING THE UNDERSTANDING OF CELL-TYPE-SPECIFIC DELIVERY IN THE COCHLEA. IMPORTANTLY, OUR PROPOSED CELL- TYPE-SPECIFIC APPROACH WILL BE ALSO RELEVANT FOR OTHER FORMS OF HEARING LOSS WITH A GENE-RELATED ETIOLOGY OR GENETIC PREDISPOSITION, SUCH AS NOISE-INDUCED AND AGE-RELATED HEARING LOSS, AND FOR VESTIBULAR DISORDERS.

SBIR PHASE I: A MICROPROCESSOR FOR COMPLEX, MULTIDIMENSIONAL CELL REPROGRAMMING: ACOUSTIC-ELECTRIC MICRO-VORTICES TECHNOLOGY FOR PRECISE, SEQUENTIAL DELIVERY OF GENETIC MOLECULES -THE BROADER IMPACT/COMMERCIAL POTENTIAL OF THIS SMALL BUSINESS INNOVATION RESEARCH (SBIR) PHASE I PROJECT IS TO MAKE CELL ENGINEERING MORE ACCESSIBLE, ENABLING A WIDER RANGE OF USERS, FROM STUDENTS TO EXPERIENCED RESEARCHERS, TO PERFORM COMPLEX CELLULAR MODIFICATIONS WITH EASE. SIMILAR TO HOW 3D PRINTING REVOLUTIONIZED MANUFACTURING, THIS PROJECT AIMS TO DEVELOP A MICROCHIP-BASED, MINIATURIZED LIQUID AND CELL HANDLING TECHNOLOGY THAT MAKES ADVANCED CELL ENGINEERING FEASIBLE IN DIVERSE LABORATORY SETTINGS. BY STREAMLINING THESE PROCESSES, THE TECHNOLOGY HAS THE POTENTIAL TO ACCELERATE DISCOVERIES IN CELL AND GENE THERAPY, FIELDS THAT ARE RAPIDLY EXPANDING TO ADDRESS CONDITIONS SUCH AS CANCER, AUTOIMMUNE DISORDERS, AND INFECTIOUS DISEASES. THE ABILITY TO PERFORM COMPLEX CELL ENGINEERING WITH PRECISION IS CRITICAL FOR THE FUTURE OF PERSONALIZED MEDICINE, WHERE CUSTOM-ENGINEERED CELL-BASED TREATMENTS COULD IMPROVE PATIENT OUTCOMES AND EXPAND THERAPEUTIC OPTIONS. BEYOND HEALTHCARE, THIS INNOVATION WILL ALSO IMPACT BIOTECHNOLOGY, DRUG DEVELOPMENT, AND REGENERATIVE MEDICINE, FOSTERING ADVANCEMENTS THAT BENEFIT BOTH SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH AND CLINICAL APPLICATIONS. THIS SMALL BUSINESS INNOVATION RESEARCH (SBIR) PHASE I PROJECT ADDRESSES CRITICAL CHALLENGES FACED BY EXISTING TECHNOLOGIES IN MULTIPLEX AND COMPLEX CELL ENGINEERING. THESE CHALLENGES INCLUDE LOW EFFICIENCY IN GENETICALLY MODIFYING CELLS, THE GENERATION OF HETEROGENEOUS POPULATIONS OF ENGINEERED CELLS, LIMITED PROCESSING THROUGHPUT, AND RESTRICTED COMPATIBILITY WITH DIFFERENT CELL TYPES. THE PROPOSED MICROCHIP TECHNOLOGY LEVERAGES SOUND WAVES AND ELECTRIC FIELDS TO MANIPULATE CELLS AND SEQUENTIALLY DELIVER CUSTOMIZABLE COMBINATIONS OF GENETIC CODING MOLECULES. IN PHASE I, THE INSTRUMENT?S COMPONENTS WILL BE DESIGNED AND OPTIMIZED TO GENERATE HOMOGENEOUS POPULATIONS OF ENGINEERED CELLS WITH HIGH EFFICIENCY AND THROUGHPUT. TO VALIDATE THE PLATFORM?S VERSATILITY, THE TECHNOLOGY WILL BE TESTED ACROSS A VARIETY OF CELL TYPES, INCLUDING CANCER CELLS AND PRIMARY HUMAN T CELLS, USING A BROAD RANGE OF GENETIC MATERIALS SUCH AS DNA, MESSENGER RNA (MRNA), AND PROTEINS. TO FURTHER ENHANCE COMMERCIAL AND SOCIETAL IMPACT, THE PLATFORM WILL BE USED TO DEMONSTRATE MULTIPLEX GENOME EDITING OF T CELLS FOR CHIMERIC ANTIGEN RECEPTOR (CAR) T CELL MANUFACTURING, A CRITICAL AREA IN CANCER IMMUNOTHERAPY RESEARCH AND THERAPEUTIC DEVELOPMENT. 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: VIRUCIDAL SURFACE COATINGS FOR PREVENTION OF COVID-19 TRANSMISSION

STTR PHASE I: TUNABLE TRANSCEIVERS FOR MULTI-STANDARD WIRELESS -THE BROADER/COMMERCIAL IMPACT OF THIS SMALL BUSINESS TECHNOLOGY TRANSFER (STTR) PHASE I PROJECT WILL BE AN IMPROVEMENT IN THE QUALITY, RELIABILITY, AND COVERAGE OF WIRELESS NETWORKS, INCLUDING DEFENSE COMMUNICATION AND COMMERCIAL CELLULAR (4G/5G) NETWORKS. BY ADVANCING SCIENTIFIC UNDERSTANDING OF A NEW TYPE OF TUNABLE WIRELESS FRONTEND, WIRELESS NETWORKS WILL ACHIEVE HIGHER DATA RATES, A HIGHER NUMBER AND DENSITY OF USERS, AND LOWER ENERGY USE. THESE TECHNICAL IMPROVEMENTS RESULT IN LOWER TOTAL OWNERSHIP COSTS FOR COMMUNICATION HARDWARE AND MORE RELIABLE COVERAGE IN DENSE URBAN ENVIRONMENTS. TAKEN TOGETHER, THIS PROJECT WILL LOWER THE ECONOMIC AND LOGISTICAL BARRIER OF ENTRY TO WIRELESS CONNECTION, ENABLING MORE EQUITABLE ACCESS TO THE INTERNET AND EACH OTHER. THIS PHASE I PROJECT WILL HELP LAUNCH A FABLESS SEMICONDUCTOR BUSINESS FOCUSED ON A PATENT-PENDING MULTI-PURPOSE WIRELESS FRONTEND INTEGRATED CIRCUIT BASED ON THIS PROJECT?S PROOF OF CONCEPT. THE EXISTING MARKET FOR SUCH HARDWARE IS THE $8B SOFTWARE DEFINED RADIO MARKET, WHICH IS IMMEDIATELY IMPACTED BY 10X PERFORMANCE IMPROVEMENTS IN THE SAME FORM FACTOR AS EXISTING PRODUCTS. THIS SAME PRODUCT FAMILY WILL ALSO BE SUITABLE FOR USE IN THE MUCH LARGER NETWORK INFRASTRUCTURE MARKET ($110B). THIS SMALL BUSINESS TECHNOLOGY TRANSFER (STTR) PHASE I PROJECT FOCUSES ON THE COMMERCIALIZATION OF A NOVEL TUNABLE RESONATOR CIRCUIT TECHNIQUE FOR RADIO FREQUENCY INTEGRATED CIRCUITS. RADIO FREQUENCY SYSTEMS CAN BE DESIGNED WITH HARDWARE TUNING (AS IN FREQUENCY MODULATION RECEIVERS), OR WITHOUT HARDWARE TUNING, WHERE THE SIGNAL OF INTEREST IS ISOLATED FROM OTHER RADIO FREQUENCY SIGNALS IN SOFTWARE. THIS SECOND APPROACH, CALLED SOFTWARE-DEFINED RADIO HAS BEEN LAUDED IN ACADEMIC AND INDUSTRY RESEARCH FOR ITS POTENTIAL IMPROVEMENTS TO OVERALL MODERN WIRELESS NETWORK THROUGHPUT, HOWEVER THE LACK OF TUNING CAUSES SOFTWARE-DEFINED RADIOS TO SUFFER POOR EFFICIENCY, SUSCEPTIBILITY TO INTERFERENCE, AND HIGH COST. THESE DOWNSIDES HAVE PREVENTED ADOPTION OUTSIDE DEFENSE APPLICATIONS. THIS PROJECT AIMS TO CLOSE THE GAP BETWEEN THESE TWO APPROACHES BY DEVELOPING A TRANSCEIVER THAT IS BOTH TUNED AND PROGRAMMABLE, ACHIEVING THE BENEFITS OF BOTH APPROACHES. SPECIFICALLY, THIS PROJECT WILL DEVELOP A PROTOTYPE TRANSCEIVER INTEGRATED CIRCUIT WITH WIDE FREQUENCY FLEXIBILITY (<400MHZ TO 8GHZ), WITH BUILT-IN FILTERING OF INCOMING AND OUTGOING INTERFERENCE TO ELIMINATE THE TRADEOFFS IN EXISTING SOFTWARE DEFINED RADIO SYSTEMS. THIS PROJECT?S SOFTWARE-TUNABLE TRANSCEIVER FRONTEND WILL SERVE AS A PROOF OF CONCEPT DEMONSTRATING A PATH TO REALIZING THE BENEFITS OF SOFTWARE DEFINED RADIOS WITHOUT THE PROHIBITIVE DOWNSIDES OF CURRENT HARDWARE. 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: ANTI-INFECTIVE FOLEY CATHETERS FOR LONG-TERM PREVENTION OF CATHETER-ASSOCIATED URINARY TRACT INFECTIONS -THE BROADER IMPACT/COMMERCIAL POTENTIAL OF THIS SMALL BUSINESS INNOVATION RESEARCH (SBIR) PHASE I PROJECT IS A NOVEL ANTI-INFECTIVE COATING TO MITIGATE CATHETER-ASSOCIATED URINARY TRACT INFECTIONS (CAUTIS). THESE INFECTIONS OFTEN LEAD TO SEVERE COMPLICATIONS, RESULTING IN AN ESTIMATED 13,000 ANNUAL DEATHS WHILE INCURRING NEARLY $6.2 BILLION IN DIRECT AND INDIRECT U.S. HEALTHCARE SYSTEM COSTS. THE HYBRID CATHETER TECHNOLOGY AIMS TO PROVIDE CONTINUOUS PROTECTION AGAINST INFECTIONS CAUSED BY BIOFILMS, OFFERING CHRONIC ANTIMICROBIAL AND BIOFILM-REPELLING PROPERTIES THROUGH A SYNERGISTIC COMBINATION OF BIOFILM-REPELLING AND STATIC ANTIMICROBIAL SURFACE MOIETIES. THE PROPOSED CATHETER TECHNOLOGY AIMS TO DEMONSTRATE SIGNIFICANT DECREASES IN INFECTION RATES, IMPROVED CATHETER LONGEVITY, AND BROAD-SPECTRUM PROTECTION AGAINST PATHOGENS TO REDUCE THE RISKS OF INFECTION ASSOCIATED WITH LONG-TERM CATHETER USE, REDUCING THE RELIANCE OF PATIENTS ON ANTIBIOTICS. THE SCOPE OF THIS TECHNOLOGY'S APPLICATION HAS BROADER POTENTIAL BEYOND URINARY CATHETERS TO INCLUDE OTHER CATHETER-BASED APPLICATIONS AND ACUTE IN-HOSPITAL USE MEDICAL DEVICES. THE OVERALL TECHNOLOGICAL OBJECTIVES ARE TO IMPROVE INFECTION CONTROL PRACTICES AND RISK REDUCTION FOR MANY COMMON U.S. IN-HOSPITAL PROCEDURES. THIS SMALL BUSINESS INNOVATION RESEARCH (SBIR) PHASE I PROJECT AIMS TO DEVELOP A NOVEL DEVICE SURFACE COATING WITH ENHANCED ANTI-PATHOGEN AND BIOFILM RESISTANCE. THE OBJECTIVE IS TO DEVELOP AND VALIDATE IN VITRO AN INNOVATIVE CATHETER DESIGN THAT OFFERS PROLONGED RESISTANCE TO BIOFILM FORMATION, SUPERIOR TO CURRENT SINGLE MODALITY APPROACHES. DURING THIS PHASE 1 PROJECT, THE ANTI-BIOFILM PROPERTIES OF ZWITTERIONIC MOIETIES WILL BE COMBINED WITH THE DURABLE STATIC MICROBICIDAL ACTION OF A GEMINI-DICATIONIC MOIETIES INTO A SINGLE COATING. INITIAL BENCH TESTS AT THE MATERIALS LEVEL DEMONSTRATE A SIGNIFICANT REDUCTION IN BIOFILM FORMATION SUPERIOR TO CURRENTLY AVAILABLE METHODS. INVITRO TESTING WILL BE COMPLETED ON THE NOVEL COMBINED MODE MATERIAL TO DEMONSTRATE REDUCED INFECTION RISKS RELATIVE TO EXISTING ANTIMICROBIAL FOLEY CATHETERS. THE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL WILL THEN BE INTEGRATED INTO MANUFACTURING PROCESSES TO PREVENT INFECTION IN CATHETER-USE MEDICAL SETTINGS. 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.

SBIR PHASE I: ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE (AI)-ENABLED ULTRASOUND FOR IMAGING AND DIAGNOSING MUSCULOSKELETAL INJURIES -THE BROADER IMPACT/COMMERCIAL POTENTIAL OF THIS SMALL BUSINESS INNOVATION RESEARCH (SBIR) PHASE I PROJECT IS TO ENABLE WIDESPREAD ADOPTION OF ULTRASOUND IMAGING FOR MUSCULOSKELETAL (MSK) INJURIES. THE ULTRASOUND IMAGE ANALYSIS PLATFORM ENABLED BY ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE (AI) DEVELOPED DURING THIS SBIR MAY BRING COST-EFFECTIVE DIAGNOSTIC IMAGING TO A BROADER PATIENT POPULATION AS THE SMALL FORM FACTOR OF THE ULTRASOUND INSTRUMENT ENABLES THE TECHNOLOGY TO BE USED IN A VARIETY OF SETTINGS, INCLUDING DOCTORS? OFFICES, PHYSICAL THERAPY OFFICES, AND SPORTS FACILITIES. THERE ARE APPROXIMATELY 840,000 CLINICIANS WHO SEE PATIENTS WITH MSK INJURIES. EACH OF THESE CLINICIANS REPRESENTS CANDIDATE CUSTOMERS FOR THE PLATFORM, LEADING TO A TOTAL ADDRESSABLE MARKET IN THE U.S. OF $1.7 BILLION. THIS SMALL BUSINESS INNOVATION RESEARCH (SBIR) PHASE I PROJECT SEEKS TO ADVANCE ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE (AI)-ENABLED ULTRASOUND IMAGING TECHNOLOGY. SONOGRAPHY IS THE MOST OPERATOR-DEPENDENT MEDICAL IMAGING MODALITY IN USE TODAY, LIMITING THE USE OF ULTRASOUND IMAGING IN MUSCULOSKELETAL (MSK) EVALUATION. THE PROPOSED APPROACH SEEKS TO ENABLE THE WIDER ADOPTION OF ULTRASOUND FOR DIAGNOSING MSK INJURIES. THIS PROJECT INVOLVES THE DEVELOPMENT OF RIGOROUS MATHEMATICAL MODELS TO DETERMINE WHETHER A FRAME SEQUENCE IS PROPERLY ALIGNED AND DETERMINE IF TENDON TEARS IN SHOULDER SCANS ARE DIAGNOSABLE. A GUIDANCE SYSTEM WILL BE DEVELOPED TO AID IN ULTRASOUND PROBE PLACEMENT SO THAT CONSISTENT IDENTIFICATION OF TENDON TEAR PRESENCE OR ABSENCE IS ACHIEVED. THE PROPOSED AI-ENABLED APPROACH TO ULTRASOUND IMAGING AND DIAGNOSTICS MAY HELP PRACTITIONERS POSITION THE ULTRASOUND PROBE WITHOUT THE NEED TO MAINTAIN PRECISE ANGULAR POSITIONING. ONCE AT THE CORRECT STARTING POSITION, THE PRACTITIONER WILL MOVE THE PROBE IN A PRE-PRESCRIBED MOTION USING A GUIDANCE SYSTEM AS NEEDED FOR ACCURATE AND EFFICIENT IMAGE CAPTURE. THE GOAL OF THE TECHNOLOGY IS TO ENABLE NOVICE PRACTITIONERS TO CAPTURE RELEVANT ANALYSES TO ASSIST IN PROVIDING A DIAGNOSIS AND A TREATMENT PLAN.
