Description
IW - BLUETOOTH ELECTROMYOGRAPHY-BASED STROKE THERAPEUTIC (BEST): SHIFTING THE PARADIGM WITH BIOFEEDBACK-DRIVEN HOME THERAPY - THIS IS A SMALL BUSINESS INNOVATION RESEARCH (SBIR) PHASE I PROJECT. IMPULSE WELLNESS LLC (IW) WILL, THROUGHOUT THIS SIX-MONTH AWARD, RESEARCH AND DEVELOP THE BLUETOOTH ELECTROMYOGRAPHY-BASED STROKE THERAPEUTIC (BEST) WORKING PROTOTYPE. THE GOAL OF THIS PROPOSAL IS TO CREATE AN IMMERSIVE AND INTUITIVE STROKE REHABILITATION TOOL THAT HELPS FUNCTIONALLY IMPAIRED USERS TAKE A MORE ACTIVE ROLE IN THEIR RECOVERY. THE OBJECTIVES ARE IN LINE WITH NATIONAL INSTITUTE ON DISABILITY, INDEPENDENT LIVING, AND REHABILITATION RESEARCHâS (NIDILRR) MAJOR OUTCOME TWO, âHEALTH AND FUNCTION.â DURING THE PROJECTâS INCEPTION, THE IW TEAM CONDUCTED AN EVALUATIVE STUDY (45 STROKE SURVIVORS AND CARE PROVIDERS) TO BRING TO LIGHT THE BARRIERS, FACILITATORS, AND UNTAPPED POTENTIAL OF REHABILITATIVE TECHNOLOGIES IN CLINICAL NEUROREHABILITATION AND TO FURTHER ENSURE THE NEEDS OF THIS TARGET POPULATION ARE MET. THROUGH A RIGOROUS SYSTEMATIC STUDY AND APPLICATION OF KNOWLEDGE, THE IW TEAM WILL CREATE AN INFORMATIVE STROKE THERAPEUTIC SYSTEM AND WILL DEVELOP THE HARDWARE, BIOFEEDBACK ALGORITHM, AND MOBILE APPLICATION. THE BEST BIOFEEDBACK SYSTEM WILL INCORPORATE STATE-OF-THE-ART EMBEDDED DRY ELECTRODES TO COLLECT SURFACE ELECTROMYOGRAPHY SIGNALS. IN USING OUR PROPRIETARY BIOFEEDBACK ALGORITHM AND APPLICATION, WE WILL PROVIDE USERS WITH MOTIVATIONAL, INDIVIDUALIZED, AND CLINICALLY MEANINGFUL RECOVERY INFORMATION, SUCH AS THE LEVEL OF COMMUNICATION BETWEEN A STROKE SURVIVORâS AGONISTIC AND ANTAGONISTIC MUSCLES. IN PHASE II, WE WILL FURTHER TEST AND REFINE THE FUNCTIONAL PROTOTYPE BASED ON THE OUTCOMES OF THIS PROPOSED PHASE I RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT. THIS WILL BE STUDIED THROUGH ADDITIONAL RESEARCH OF THE KEY OBJECTIVES IN PHASE I, TESTING OF ADDITIONAL METRICS WHICH WILL BE SYSTEMATICALLY OPTIMIZED BASED ON THE KNOWLEDGE GAINED IN THE PHASE I WORK, AND RESEARCH OF
