THE PURPOSE OF THIS CA IS TO INCREASE THE ABILITY OF CRAFT SMES TO COMPETE IN LOCAL, REGIONAL AND GLOBAL MARKETS. THE PROGRAM WILL FOCUS ON INCREASI

THIS NATIONAL PROGRAM (COLLECTIONS ASSESSMENT FOR PRESERVATION, OR CAP) HELPS SMALL AND MEDIUM-SIZED MUSEUMS OF EVERY TYPE RECEIVE PRIORITIZED RECOMMENDATIONS FOR IMPROVING THE CARE OF THEIR COLLECTIONS. A CAP ASSESSMENT IS A STUDY OF ALL THE INSTITUTION'S COLLECTIONS, BUILDINGS, AND BUILDING SYSTEMS AS WELL AS ITS POLICIES AND PROCEDURES RELATING TO COLLECTIONS CARE. THE ASSESSMENT INVOLVES A SITE VISIT BY A COLLECTIONS ASSESSOR AND A BUILDING ASSESSOR, WHO SPEND TWO DAYS TOURING THE MUSEUM AND INTERVIEWING STAFF AND GOVERNING OFFICIALS AND THEN PREPARE A COMPREHENSIVE REPORT THAT OUTLINES THEIR RECOMMENDATIONS TAILORED SPECIFICALLY TO THE PARTICIPATING INSTITUTION. A CAP ASSESSMENT ASSISTS SMALL MUSEUMS BY IDENTIFYING SHORT- AND LONG-TERM PRIORITIES FOR PREVENTIVE CONSERVATION, FACILITATING THE DEVELOPMENT OF A LONG-RANGE PRESERVATION PLAN, AND/OR SERVING AS A FUNDRAISING TOOL FOR FUTURE COLLECTIONS PROJECTS. OUTCOMES-BASED EVALUATIONS INFORM IMPROVEMENTS TO THE PROGRAM.

THE FOUNDATION FOR ADVANCEMENT IN CONSERVATION (FAIC) PROPOSES TO OFFER CONSERVATION ASSESSMENTS, FOR BOTH COLLECTIONS AND STRUCTURES, TO APPROXIMATELY 300 MUSEUMS OVER A THREE-YEAR PERIOD. THE COLLECTIONS ASSESSMENT FOR PRESERVATION (CAP) PROGRAM WILL BUILD ON THE SUCCESS OF THE PROGRAM WHICH HAS BEEN IN EXISTENCE FOR 24 YEARS. KEY ELEMENTS INCLUDE PROVIDING TWO-PERSON TEAMS TO ASSESS COLLECTIONS AND BUILDINGS, REGARDLESS OF THE AGE OF THE STRUCTURES LINKING MUSEUMS TO TRAINING AND OTHER RESOURCES AS NEEDED STRUCTURED FOLLOW-UP SESSIONS WITH MUSEUMS AND ASSESSORS NINE TO TWELVE MONTHS AFTER THE ASSESSMENT TRAINING FOR ASSESSORS AND PROVISION FOR RAPID APPROVAL OF ASSESSMENTS FOLLOWING EMERGENCIES.

NEW SBIR PHASE I 2009; TITLE: HIGH-THROUGHPUT CELLULASE EVOLUTION AGAINST PRE-TREATED LIGNOCELLULOSIC BIOMASS; PI: ROBERT BLAZEJ

WHITEBOARD COORDINATOR: INTELLIGENT SENSOR NETWORK AND MACHINE LEARNING TOIMPROVE OPERATING ROOM OUTCOMES AND EFFICIENCY - CARING FOR PATIENTS IN THE OPERATING ROOM (OR) REQUIRES A COMPLEX SET OF RESOURCES, PERSONNEL, AND LOGISTICS. IMPROVING THE ACCURACY, SPEED, AND GRANULARITY OF INFORMATION EXCHANGE IN THIS ENVIRONMENT SIGNIFICANTLY IMPACTS OUTCOMES, SAFETY, SATISFACTION, & ACCESS TO CARE. ADDITIONALLY, INCREASING EFFICIENCY CAN HAVE A SIGNIFICANT POSITIVE ECONOMIC IMPACT, AN IMPORTANT IMPLICATION FOR ALL HOSPITALS. THEREFORE, AUTOMATION OF MANUAL DOCUMENTATION AND TASK COORDINATION CAN ENHANCE PRODUCTIVITY, SAFETY, AND PROFITABILITY, AS WELL AS JOB SATISFACTION FOR CLINICIANS. THE WHITEBOARD COORDINATOR (WC) PLATFORM SOLVES THESE MARKET CHALLENGES THROUGH ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE (AI) DRIVEN OR WORKFLOWS AND RESOURCE MANAGEMENT. THE PLATFORM IS DEPLOYED ON A VIRTUAL SERVER WITHIN A HOSPITAL’S LOCAL NETWORK. IT COMMUNICATES WITH THE EXISTING ELECTRONIC MEDICAL RECORD (EMR) TO IMPORT THE DAY’S SURGERY SCHEDULE AND ASSIGNED RESOURCES. ONCE OR WORKFLOW BEGINS, AN INTELLIGENT NETWORK OF SENSORS AND CAMERAS EMPLOYING MACHINE VISION ALGORITHMS RECORD LOCATIONS AND TIMES OF PATIENTS, EQUIPMENT, AND SUPPLIES. AS CLINICAL ACTIVITIES BEGIN, THE SOFTWARE AUTOMATICALLY ALERTS ALL STAKEHOLDERS OF IMPORTANT EVENTS VIA TEXT AND PAGING TO COORDINATE CLINICAL PROCESSES. INFORMATION IS ALSO DISSEMINATED ON DIGITAL DISPLAYS THROUGHOUT STAKEHOLDER LOCATIONS, SUCH AS THE OR, PREOPERATIVE HOLDING, POST ANESTHESIA CARE UNIT, STERILE SUPPLY, HIGH-TRAFFIC HALLWAYS, AND BREAK ROOMS. GIVEN THE UNPREDICTABLE NATURE OF SURGICAL PROCEDURES, THIS AUTOMATED INFORMATION FEED ENSURES ALL PROVIDERS ARE EFFORTLESSLY INFORMED, ALLOWING ALL STAKEHOLDERS TO SYNCHRONIZE INDEPENDENT, BUT PARALLEL WORKFLOWS. THE INTELLIGENT SENSOR NETWORK OF CAMERAS AND MACHINE VISION ALGORITHMS AUTOMATICALLY DETECTS AND UPDATES AVAILABILITY AND LOCATION OF RESOURCES. THE SOFTWARE AUTOMATES EXISTING MANUAL LOGISTICS DOCUMENTATION. FINALLY, WC RAPIDLY DISSEMINATES DETAILED INFORMATION IN A TARGETED MANNER (I.E. TO SPECIFIC SURGEONS, NURSES, TECHNICIANS, JANITORIAL STAFF, ETC.) TO ELIMINATE ALARM FATIGUE AND ENHANCE PRODUCTIVITY. THE PROJECT INCLUDES FOUR MAIN AIMS. FIRST, THE PHASE I PROTOTYPE PLATFORM WILL BE ENHANCED WITH NEW FEATURES TO FULLY SUPPORT USER WORKFLOW AND EFFICIENCY ACROSS ALL OR STAKEHOLDERS. TARGETED UPDATES WILL FOCUS ON CONNECTED DATA DOMAINS AND CROSS PLATFORM INTEGRATION, USER INTERFACE WORKFLOWS AND AUTOMATED REPORTS, AND VOICE COMMAND INTEGRATION. SECOND, THE AI SUITE WILL BE SIGNIFICANTLY UPDATED WITH NOVEL TOOLS THAT BUILD UPON THE PHASE I FRAMEWORK INCLUDING DETECTION OF NOVEL SURGERY TYPES & EVENTS, DETECTION OF SURGICAL SUPPLIES & INVENTORY MANAGEMENT, AND A SIMULATION TOOLBOX FOR RESOURCE PLANNING. ONCE ALL PLATFORM UPDATES HAVE BEEN TECHNICALLY VERIFIED AND VALIDATED, THE SUPPORTING INFRASTRUCTURE AND PRODUCTION ECOSYSTEM WILL BE SCALED TO SUPPORT COMMERCIAL RELEASE. THIS INCLUDES FORMAL QUALITY FUNCTIONS, OPERATIONS, SUPPORT AND STAGING/PRODUCTION ENVIRONMENTS. THE WHITEBOARD COORDINATOR PLATFORM AND PRODUCTION ENVIRONMENT WILL BE VALIDATED AGAINST QUALITY SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS, THEN DEPLOYED IN A LARGE-SCALE FIELD STUDY TO DOCUMENT OR EFFECTIVENESS AND UTILITY.

CONTINUOUS ADL MONITORING USING COMPUTER VISION TO MAINTAIN INDEPENDENCE AND IMPROVE HRQOL IN OLDER ADULTS AT RISK FOR AD/ADRD - TO HELP OLDER ADULTS AGE INDEPENDENTLY AT HOME, EFFECTIVELY MONITORING AND DETECTING CHANGES IN ADLS ARE CRITICAL FOR PREVENTING ADVERSE EVENTS AND MAINTAINING HEALTH-RELATED QUALITY OF LIFE (HRQOL). HOWEVER, ADLS ARE TIME CONSUMING TO CAPTURE, HIGHLY SUBJECTIVE, AND RARELY DOCUMENTED IN MOST CLINICAL ENCOUNTERS. ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE (AI) COMPUTER VISION IS CAPABLE OF AUTOMATICALLY CAPTURING A CONTINUOUS TIMESTREAM OF ACTIVITIES AND MAY ADDRESS THESE LIMITATIONS, YET HAS BEEN CRITICIZED FOR THE “BLACKBOX” NATURE OF ALGORITHMS. OUR PRELIMINARY DATA IDENTIFIED THAT A UNIQUE AI APPROACH USING COMPUTER VISION CAN CAPTURE ADLS WITHOUT LARGE TAGGED DATASETS TO LEARN A BEHAVIOR WHILE PRESERVING PRIVACY. OUR HYPOTHESIS IS THAT ADL-RELATED DATA CAPTURED BY AN EXPLAINABLE AI MONITORING SYSTEM CAN BE A KEY CONTRIBUTOR TO PREVENTING ADL-DEFICIT ASSOCIATED ADVERSE EVENTS AND MAINTAINING HRQOL AMONG INDIVIDUALS WITH ALZHEIMER'S DISEASE AND ALZHEIMER'S DISEASE RELATED DEMENTIAS (AD/ADRD) RESIDING IN HOME SETTINGS. IN THE PROPOSED WORK, WE WILL DEVELOP (R21) AND ASSESS (R33) A HIGHLY PERSONALIZED AND CLINICALLY INTERPRETABLE AI SYSTEM, KNOWN AS CHERRY AI, TO MONITOR ADLS, DETECT CHANGES EARLY, PREDICT RELEVANT ADVERSE EVENTS, AND SUPPORT HEALTHCARE PLANNING FOR PROGRAM FOR ALL- INCLUSIVE CARE FOR THE ELDERLY (PACE) PROVIDERS, WITH AN ULTIMATE GOAL OF MAINTAINING HRQOL AMONG PACE ENROLLEES WITH OR WITHOUT DEMENTIA. IN THE R21 PHASE (STAGE 0), WE WILL REFINE CHERRY AI ALGORITHMS AND CONDUCT FOCUS GROUPS OF PACE CLINICIANS TO IDENTIFY AND SUMMARIZE FACTORS INVOLVED IN CLINICAL MANAGEMENT PLANS FOR ADLS. WE WILL ENROLL PACE ENROLLEES WITH A HISTORY OF ADL DEFICITS AND VARIED COGNITIVE PROFILES [TOTAL N=20, 10 W/ MILD COGNITIVE IMPAIRMENT; 10 W/ SUBJECTIVE COGNITIVE DECLINE] AND MONITOR ADLS IN HOMES USING CHERRY AI. PACE CLINICIANS WILL EVALUATE PARTICIPANTS’ ADLS USING THE MODIFIED BARTHEL INDEX. CORRELATIONS BETWEEN CHERRY AI-MEASURED AND CLINICIAN-RATED ADLS WILL BE EVALUATED. QUALITATIVE FOCUS GROUPS OF 10-15 HOME CARE CLINICIANS WILL BE USED TO IMPROVE THE CHERRY AI INTERFACE. SPECIFIC AIMS INCLUDE (1) REFINING CHERRY AI ALGORITHMS AND (2) ENHANCING INTERPRETABILITY OF THE CHERRY AI SYSTEM TO HELP CLINICIANS MAKE ADL RELATED MANAGEMENT PLANS. IN THE R33 PHASE (PILOT TEST, STAGE I), WE WILL ASSESS THE ABILITY OF CHERRY AI TO HELP MAINTAIN OR IMPROVE HRQOL IN PACE ENROLLEES WITH AD/ADRD BY PREDICTING FUTURE CHANGES IN ADLS AND ASSOCIATED ADVERSE EVENTS, AND ASSISTING WITH ADL-RELATED MANAGEMENT. PACE ENROLLEES (N=80) WITH A HISTORY OF ADL DEFICITS WILL BE STRATIFIED ON COGNITIVE PHENOTYPE AND RANDOMLY ASSIGNED TO ONE OF TWO GROUPS: CHERRY AI (INTERVENTION) VS. USUAL CARE (CONTROL) IN A PILOT SINGLE-BLIND RANDOMIZED CONTROLLED TRIAL. WE WILL USE LINEAR MIXED- EFFECT MODELS TO EXAMINE CHERRY AI’S EFFECT ON MAINTAINING HRQOL COMPARED TO PACE’S USUAL CARE. SPECIFIC AIMS INCLUDE COMPARING CHANGES OF HRQOL, INCIDENCE OF ADVERSE EVENTS, AND CHANGES IN PACE MANAGEMENT PLANS BETWEEN GROUPS. THIS STUDY WILL LEAD TO AN EFFICACY TRIAL OF CHERRY AI MONITORING TO IMPROVE HRQOL FOR COMMUNITY-DWELLING SENIORS WITH AD/ADRD.
