TS-074278 — Millions of individuals with mobility impairments lack practical, scalable assistance for gait rehabilitation and daily ambulation. Existing powered exoskeletons are often heavy, expensive, complex to don, and poorly suited for long-duration or everyday use. Passive walkers and orthotic devices pr…

TS-073320 — Current methods for engineering micro- and nanoscale surface topographies on elastomeric materials are often costly, complex, and incompatible with scalable manufacturing. Yet, surface microstructures are critical for enhancing biological interactions in wound healing materials, such as promoting …

TS-073028 — Neonatal units need unobtrusive, continuous monitoring of presence, posture, motion, and growth metrics (recumbent length, optional weight) without cameras, wires, or labor‑intensive workflows. Frequent, accurate measurements are critical for early detection of growth deviations and unsafe sleep…

TS-072945 — Many mechanically mediated conditions such as vascular hypertension, glaucoma, and abdominal distension, present intermittent, unpredictable episodes that demand drug release only when symptoms emerge. Conventional platforms often leak at baseline, require external triggers, or cannot synchronize …

TS-072319 — The Need Current methods for mapping electrical potential gradients in biological tissues, such as the brain, rely on high-density electrode arrays fabricated via costly microfabrication techniques. These rigid devices struggle to conform to complex tissue morphologies, limiting their effectiveness …

TS-072052 — The Need Current wearable sensors for muscle health are limited in their ability to track real-time geometric changes in muscle size and shape, especially outside controlled laboratory environments. Existing solutions, such as force myography and ultrasound, either lack direct geometric insight or a…

TS-071847 — The Need Current fast neutron detection technologies suffer from inherently low sensitivity due to the limited interaction cross-section between neutrons and atomic nuclei. This restricts their effectiveness in critical applications such as nuclear security, radiation dosimetry, and advanced imaging…

TS-071745 — The Need Current two-way shape memory polymers (SMPs) require expensive, crystalline or liquid crystalline monomers and complex synthesis, limiting their use in cost-sensitive and biocompatible applications. Widely used amorphous polymers (e.g., polystyrene, PMMA) are inexpensive and common in con…

TS-071414 — The Need Current neurochemical monitoring technologies are limited by bulky form factors, complex fabrication, and invasiveness, which restrict their clinical and research utility. Existing sensors often cause tissue damage, lack real-time resolution, and are costly to manufacture, impeding widespre…

TS-070304 — The Need Current clinical methods for assessing tremor severity in patients with Parkinson’s disease and other movement disorders rely heavily on subjective, qualitative observations, such as evaluating hand-drawn spirals or observing motor tasks. These approaches lack precision, are difficult…

TS-069527 — The Need Cardiovascular MRI (CMR) data acquisition is often time-consuming and relies on complex reconstruction methods that do not fully exploit the spatial and temporal structure of CMR data. There is a need for a more efficient, unsupervised approach that can accelerate CMR imaging while maintai…

TS-067943 — Monitoring human physiological functions and performance during real-time activities is becoming increasingly popular in sporting and healthcare environments. Many studies now suggest that the quantitative evaluation of kinetic parameters, joint range of motion, heart rate, and breathing rate can be…

TS-067810 — Work environments and other brain-intensive activities impose high demands on the cognitive and cerebral resources required to process vast amounts of information. This high demand can expose individuals to cognitive overload, which can be dangerous for their health and lead to errors and accidents.…

TS-067796 — A handheld device for identifying preterm blood vessels in neonatal ICU.

TS-067550 — A method to improve the performance and accuracy of ML-based decision trees.

TS-067045 — The Need Wireless implants with integrated antennas are highly desirable for diagnostic, therapeutic, and monitoring applications due to their ability to communicate directly with external devices. However, the need for major surgical incisions to implant these devices poses significant risks, incl…

TS-066962 — The Need Viral disease surveillance (e.g. influenza, SARS-CoV-2) in high-risk settings faces several challenges, such as asymptomatic carriers, incomplete reporting, resource limitations, and delayed diagnosis of traditional swab test methods. These challenges could allow a virus to silently spread…

TS-066957 — The Need Colorimetric tests and remote image analysis are used in a wide range of industrial and medical applications. Digital image-based measurements made with smartphones are a promising platform to quantify colors at low cost, but suffer from inconsistency and errors caused by lens quality, sen…
