Improving Health through Rehabilitation Robotic Technology

Organisme

National Institutes of Health - Improving Health through Rehabilitation Robotic Technology (R43/R44)

Objecte

The purpose of this funding opportunity announcement (FOA) is to encourage the translation of rehabilitation robotic technology to assist health care providers and individuals in need of rehabilitation.

Sol·licitants

This funding opportunity announcement would support Phase I and/or Phase II SBIR projects to translate state of the art robotic technology in a broad range of environments and user populations. This initiative encourages development of affordable and accessible rehabilitation robotic technology that utilizes rehabilitation robots to facilitate functional independence, improve quality of life, assist with behavior therapy, provide personalized care in the clinic and/or at home and promote wellness/health in persons with disabilities across the lifespan. Assistive rehabilitation robotic software and/or hardware system development of interest include, but are not limited to those that:
•Reduce the secondary health effects that follow reduced mobility such as obesity, joint contracture, etc.
•Establish optimal patient specific rehabilitation, such as programs designed to establish timing intensity and duration of interventions,
•Support of life-long cognitive, social, and physical disorders requiring on-going behavioral therapy,
•Provide personalized care for special needs populations, and
•Increase wellness/ health promotion and maintenance.

The NIH is still interested in supporting robotic advancements for surgical health interventions and robotic exoskeletons; however, these topics are not responsive to this solicitation.
