TO ADDRESS THE ISSUE OF EXPLOITATION OF WORKERS ON CCP FUNDED PROJECTS

VIBRANT: POSTPARTUM HEMORRHAGE RISK PREDICTION USING MATERNAL HEART RATE - PROJECT SUMMARY: POSTPARTUM HEMORRHAGE (PPH) IS THE LEADING CAUSE OF MATERNAL DEATH. PPH IS CLINICALLY DEFINED AS A LARGE LOSS OF BLOOD (GREATER THAN 1000ML) WITHIN 24 HOURS AFTER DELIVERY. IF TREATED EARLY ENOUGH, EFFECTIVE CLINICAL MANAGEMENT SOLUTIONS EXIST THAT SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCE MORBIDITY AND MORTALITY. SINCE THE MAJORITY OF LIFE-THREATENING PPH OCCUR WITHIN MINUTES OF DELIVERY, CURRENT STANDARD OF CARE RELIES ON ASSESSING PPH RISK PRIOR TO DELIVERY TO FACILITATE CLINICAL CARE PLANNING AND TEAM PREPARATION. HOWEVER, CURRENT PPH RISK PREDICTION TECHNIQUES HAVE BEEN PROVEN TO BE INACCURATE AND INEFFECTIVE. IN RESPONSE, VASOWATCH HAS DEVELOPED AN AUTOMATED, CONTINUOUS, AND MINIMALLY BURDENSOME MONITORING SYSTEM THAT CAN (1) ACCURATELY PREDICT POST-DELIVERY PPH UP TO 8 HOURS PRIOR TO DELIVERY AND (2) DELIVER REAL- TIME AND ACTIONABLE CLINICAL DECISION SUPPORT LINKED TO THE IDENTIFIED PPH SYMPTOMS. PRIOR PUBLISHED WORK CHARACTERIZED THE TECHNICAL PERFORMANCE OF THE VASOWATCH SYSTEM IN A 375-PATIENT PROSPECTIVE COHORT THAT DEMONSTRATED THE VASOWATCH SYSTEM HAS EXCEPTIONAL SENSITIVITY IN IDENTIFYING HEIGHTENED PPH RISK, CURRENTLY MISSED BY STANDARD-OF-CARE SOLUTIONS, WITHIN 2 TO 8 HOURS BEFORE DELIVERY WITH 83% SENSITIVITY AND 90% SPECIFICITY, EQUIPPING HEALTHCARE PROVIDERS WITH INVALUABLE INSIGHTS FOR TIMELY AND PROACTIVE INTERVENTIONS. TOWARDS ACHIEVING REGULATORY APPROVAL AND FACILITATE COMMERCIAL SUCCESS, IN THIS PHASE II SBIR WE AIM TO ESTIMATE THE CLINICAL PERFORMANCE AND ESTABLISH THE ACCEPTABILITY OF THE VASOWATCH SYSTEM WHEN INTEGRATED IN CLINICAL PRACTICE BY CONDUCTING A CLINICAL TRIAL. THE PROPOSED CLINICAL TRIAL, WHICH IS AN NIH-DEFINED PHASE 2 CLINICAL TRIAL, IS SINGLE-ARMED AND INVOLVES THE RECRUITMENT OF PREGNANT WOMEN WHO WILL PROSPECTIVELY BE ASSIGNED TO RECEIVE THE VASOWATCH PPH RISK PREDICTION SYSTEM WHICH WILL BE MADE AVAILABLE TO CLINICAL CARE TEAMS TO OBSERVE ITS IMPACT ON PPH PROPORTIONS. THE RESULTS OF THIS CLINICAL TRIAL WILL BE UTILIZED TO EFFICIENTLY DESIGN A SUBSEQUENT PIVOTAL CLINICAL TRIAL TO SUPPORT A DE NOVO PRE-MARKET APPLICATION AND APPROVAL. IN SUPPORT OF THIS SUBMISSION, VASOWATCH HAS COMPLETED A PHASE I STTR, PARTICIPATED IN I-CORPS REGIONAL PROGRAM, AND COMPLETED A PRE-SUBMISSION MEETING WITH THE US FOOD AND DRUG ADMINISTRATION TO INFORM THE FUTURE PIVOTAL TRIAL DESIGN. RECEIPT OF NIH FUNDS WILL GREATLY ADVANCE THE VASOWATCH SYSTEM BY CHARACTERIZING THE IMPACT OF THE VASOWATCH SYSTEM WHEN INTEGRATED IN CLINICAL PRACTICE AND TO INFORM A FUTURE PIVOTAL CLINICAL STUDY. ULTIMATELY, WE BELIEVE THIS SOLUTION WILL ADDRESS AN URGENT NEED AND WILL BROADLY APPEAL TO HOSPITALS, RESULTING IN SIGNIFICANTLY IMPROVED OUTCOMES FOR PATIENTS. PAYERS WILL APPRECIATE THE SIGNIFICANT COST SAVINGS ASSOCIATED WITH THE PPH REDUCTION. EXPANSION INTO NON-HOSPITAL-BASED BIRTH CENTERS WILL FOLLOW.

FOCAL SEIZURE MONITORING WITH A CONSUMER WEARABLE: ALGORITHMIC DEVELOPMENT AND VALIDATION - PROJECT SUMMARY UNCONTROLLED EPILEPSY IS A MAJOR PUBLIC HEALTH BURDEN, AFFECTING OVER 1.5 MILLION PATIENTS IN THE US, RESULTING IN TOTAL DIRECT COSTS OF UP TO $50,000 PER YEAR FOR INDIVIDUAL PATIENTS. GENERALIZED TONIC-CLONIC SEIZURES (GTCS) HAVE BEEN THE FOCUS OF WEARABLE-BASED SEIZURE MONITORING RESEARCH FOR THE PAST DECADE, WHILE LITTLE WORK HAS BEEN DONE IN THE DETECTION OF OTHER SEIZURE TYPES. FOCAL SEIZURES (FS) IN PARTICULAR, ARE THE MOST COMMON SEIZURE TYPE, AFFECTING OVER 60% OF PEOPLE WITH ACTIVE EPILEPSY. ACCURATE FS DETECTION CAN PROMOTE SAFETY, PROVIDING REAL-TIME ALERTING TO CAREGIVERS, AND CAN SUPPORT MORE ACCURATE SEIZURE TRACKING, BYPASSING THE NEED FOR MANUAL DIARIES AND PROVIDING IMPORTANT DATA FOR PHYSICIANS TO BETTER MANAGE EPILEPSY. OUR TEAM HAS DEVELOPED A SOFTWARE APPLICATION ON A POPULAR CONSUMER WEARABLE DEVICE, TO RECORD DATA FROM ACCELEROMETER (ACC) AND PHOTOPLETHYSMOGRAPHY (PPG) BIOSENSORS, WITH THE GOAL OF PROVIDING AN EASY, NON-STIGMATIZING METHOD FOR FS MONITORING. WE PROPOSE A NEW METHODOLOGY OF DETECTION THAT LEVERAGES THE UNIQUE SEIZURE CHARACTERISTICS OF FOCAL SEIZURES TO SUBSTANTIALLY REDUCE THE RATE OF FALSE ALARMS, WHICH CAN RESULT IN POOR COMPLIANCE WITH MONITORING. OUR APPROACH IS BASED ON THE SCIENTIFIC PREMISE THAT WHILE FOCAL SEIZURES CAN VARY SIGNIFICANTLY ACROSS INDIVIDUALS, THEY ARE USUALLY FAR LESS VARIABLE WITHIN INDIVIDUALS, OWING TO THEIR PROPENSITY FOR ONSET AND PROPAGATION IN THE SAME SYMPTOMATOGENIC ZONES. WE PROPOSE AN ADAPTIVE METHODOLOGY THAT CAN ACCURATELY CLASSIFY FSS FOR SPECIFIC INDIVIDUALS OVER TIME. WE ARE UNIQUELY POSITIONED TO COMPLETE THIS GOAL, AS WE CAN LEVERAGE THE THOUSANDS OF HOURS OF DATA WE HAVE COLLECTED FROM PREVIOUS TRIALS, AND OUR TEAM HAS EXTENSIVE PRIOR EXPERIENCE IN TRAINING AND TESTING SEIZURE DETECTION ALGORITHMS. IN THIS PROPOSAL, WE PLAN TO DEVELOP OUR ALGORITHM THROUGH THE FOLLOWING AIMS: (1) DEVELOPING A PATIENT-INDEPENDENT FOCAL SEIZURE CLASSIFICATION METHODOLOGY LEVERAGING DATA WE HAVE OBTAINED FROM PREVIOUS IRB APPROVED RESEARCH. (2) ENHANCING OUR ALGORITHM BY CREATING A PATIENT- DEPENDENT CLASSIFICATION METHODOLOGY. THIS AIM, IN PARTICULAR, WILL ALLOW THE PROPOSED ALGORITHM TO SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCE FALSE ALARM RATES (FARS). (3) PROSPECTIVELY VALIDATING THE PROPOSED ALGORITHM IN AN OBSERVATIONAL STUDY. WE EXPECT THE FINAL DETECTOR TO SIGNIFICANTLY IMPROVE FAR WITHOUT SACRIFICING SENSITIVITY. IF SUCCESSFUL, WE WILL SUBMIT A PHASE II PROPOSAL FOCUSED ON FURTHER VALIDATION, EXPANSION TO INCLUDE AMBULATORY PATIENTS, AND COMMERCIALIZATION. OUR OVERALL GOAL IS TO USE OUR CLINICAL AND TECHNICAL EXPERTISE TO SIGNIFICANTLY IMPROVE THE LIVES OF PEOPLE WITH EPILEPSY. WE BELIEVE THAT WITH THIS ALGORITHM TECHNOLOGY ON THE EPIWATCH DIGITAL HEALTH PLATFORM, WE CAN HELP EASE THE PHYSICAL, MENTAL, AND FINANCIAL BURDENS OF UNCONTROLLED EPILEPSY, THUS IMPROVING QUALITY-OF-LIFE FOR PEOPLE WITH EPILEPSY.

MOMITOR: WEARABLE TECHNOLOGY FOR EARLY DETECTION OF POSTPARTUM HEMORRHAGE - ABSTRACT: POSTPARTUM HEMORRHAGE (PPH) IS THE LEADING CAUSE OF MATERNAL DEATH WORLDWIDE AND DISPROPORTIONATELY AFFECTS MINORITY POPULATIONS. PPH IS DEFINED AS A LARGE LOSS OF BLOOD WITHIN 24 HOURS OF BIRTH. IF DETECTED EARLY ENOUGH, EFFECTIVE CLINICAL MANAGEMENT SOLUTIONS EXIST THAT SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCE MORTALITY. CURRENT STANDARD OF CARE FOR DETECTING PPH RELY ON VITAL SIGN MONITORING AND VISUALLY INSPECTING THE MOTHER’S PAD TO ESTIMATE BLOOD LOSS. HOWEVER, VISUAL INSPECTION OF PADS IS SUBJECTIVE AND ERROR PRONE WHILE DETERIORATION IN VITAL SIGNS ARE DELAYED INDICATORS OF MATERNAL BLOOD VOLUME CHANGES. CONSEQUENTLY, EARLY AND ACCURATE DETECTION OF PPH REMAINS A SIGNIFICANT CLINICAL CHALLENGE. VASOWATCH LLC IS DEVELOPING AN AUTOMATED, CONTINUOUS, AND MINIMALLY BURDENSOME MONITORING SYSTEM, CALLED THE MOMITOR, THAT CAN (1) ACCURATELY AND RAPIDLY IDENTIFY SYMPTOMS OF PPH AND (2) DELIVER REAL-TIME AND ACTIONABLE CLINICAL DECISION SUPPORT LINKED TO THE IDENTIFIED PPH SYMPTOMS. THE MOMITOR SYSTEM WILL CONSIST OF A WEARABLE DEVICE WORN ON AN EXTREMITY CONSISTING OF LEDS, PHOTOTRANSISTORS, WI-FI RADIO, AND BATTERY. THE NON-INVASIVE WEARABLE WILL COLLECT PHOTOPLETHYSMOGRAPHY (PPG) WAVEFORM DATA, RUN AN ALGORITHM THAT IDENTIFIES THE ONSET OF WAVEFORM CHANGES SUGGESTIVE OF PPH, AND ALERT CLINICAL STAFF TO ASSESS THE MOTHER THROUGH A CLOUD-BASED SYSTEM WITH SMS AND DASHBOARD ALERTING CAPABILITIES. DURING PPH THE BODY AUTOMATICALLY DIVERTS BLOOD FROM NON-VITAL EXTREMITIES TO VITAL ORGANS AS A LIFESAVING MEASURE – WHICH DELAYS DETERIORATION IN VITAL SIGNS. CONSEQUENTLY, RATHER THAN RELYING ON ERROR-PRONE VISUAL INSPECTION OF SANITARY PADS AND MONITORING FOR DELAYED VITAL SIGN CHANGES, THE MOMITOR AIMS TO SCREEN FOR THE MOTHER’S AUTOMATIC COMPENSATORY RESPONSE CONSISTENT WITH PPH AND HYPOVOLEMIA. IN THIS PHASE I STTR, WE WILL DEMONSTRATE PROOF-OF- CONCEPT FOR DETECTING PPH BEFORE VITAL SIGN DETERIORATION BASED ON A MODIFIED COMPENSATORY RESERVE ESTIMATION BY DEMONSTRATING AN ALGORITHM THAT CAN ACCURATELY DETECT PPH BEFORE EXISTING STANDARD OF CARE, PROTOTYPING A WEARABLE DEVICE THAT CAN COLLECT AND ANALYZE PPG DATA FOR PPH FROM ADMISSION TO 24-HOURS POSTPARTUM. RECEIPT OF NIH FUNDS WILL ALLOW US TO DEMONSTRATE PROOF-OF-CONCEPT OF THE MOMITOR AND PROVIDE SUFFICIENT EVIDENCE TO PURSUE FDA BREAKTHROUGH DEVICE DESIGNATION. WE BELIEVE THIS SOLUTION WILL ADDRESS AN URGENT NEED AND WILL BROADLY BE APPEALING TO HOSPITALS, RESULTING IN LOWER COSTS AND GREATLY IMPROVED OUTCOMES FOR PATIENTS – REGARDLESS OF RACE. EXPANSION INTO NON-HOSPITAL- BASED BIRTH CENTERS WILL FOLLOW.

THE U.S. GOVERNMENT ENACTED THE MARINE TURTLE CONSERVATION ACT (MTCA) OF 2004 IN RESPONSE TO THE DECLINE OF MANY MARINE TURTLE POPULATIONS WORLDWIDE AND THE SERIOUS THREATS TO THEIR LONG-TERM SURVIVAL. THE PRIMARY PURPOSE OF THE ACT IS TO PROVIDE FINANCIAL SUPPORT FOR PROJECTS THAT CONSERVE NESTING POPULATIONS AND HABITAT AND ADDRESS OTHER THREATS TO THE SURVIVAL OF MARINE TURTLES IN FOREIGN COUNTRIES. THE GOAL OF THIS PROGRAM IS TO REDUCE THREATS TO MARINE TURTLES IN THEIR NATURAL HABITAT. PROPOSALS SHOULD IDENTIFY SPECIFIC CONSERVATION ACTIONS THAT HAVE A HIGH LIKELIHOOD OF CREATING LASTING BENEFITS. PROJECT ACTIVITIES THAT EMPHASIZE DATA COLLECTION AND STATUS ASSESSMENT SHOULD DESCRIBE A DIRECT LINK TO MANAGEMENT ACTION, AND EXPLAIN HOW LACK OF INFORMATION HAS BEEN A KEY LIMITING FACTOR FOR MANAGEMENT ACTION IN THE PAST. PROPOSALS THAT DO NOT IDENTIFY HOW ACTIONS WILL REDUCE THREATS OR THAT DO NOT DEMONSTRATE A STRONG LINK BETWEEN DATA COLLECTION AND MANAGEMENT ACTION WILL BE DISQUALIFIED. PROPOSED PROJECT WORK SHOULD OCCUR WITHIN THE SPECIES RANGE, OUTSIDE OF THE UNITED STATES. IF WORK IS TO BE CONDUCTED OUTSIDE OF THE SPECIES RANGE, THE PROPOSAL SHOULD SHOW A CLEAR RELEVANCE TO ITS CONSERVATION.
