UNC’s NC TraCS and the Center for Advanced Self-powered Systems of Integrated Sensors and Technologies (ASSIST) at NC State is seeking highly innovative proposals that address high-impact unmet clinical needs using NC State’s ASSIST-developed technologies. The goal of this Special Emphasis is to match UNC providers’ expertise of clinical challenges and unmet needs, with engineering faculty at ASSIST seeking to develop novel technology applications.
NEW! Special Emphasis: NC State ASSIST & UNC Translational Research Collaborations
NC TraCS and the Center for Advanced Self-powered Systems of Integrated Sensors and Technologies (ASSIST) at NC State are seeking highly innovative proposals that address high-impact unmet clinical needs using NC State’s ASSIST-developed technologies. The goal of this Special Emphasis is to match UNC providers’ expertise of clinical challenges and unmet needs, with engineering faculty at ASSIST seeking to develop novel technology applications.
ASSIST, along with NC TraCS, is extending an open invitation to UNC faculty, NC TraCS partners, and UNC Health providers to join a virtual Technology Showcase hosted by ASSIST.
Technology examples include, but are not limited to (additional information on ASSIST at assistcenter.org): • Self-powered wearable biomonitoring devices (e.g., cardiac, respiratory, activity level) • Sensors integrated into textiles/apparel • Implantable diagnostics • Non-invasive biomarker monitoring (e.g., skin patch for sweat or interstitial fluid) • Gaseous/volatile sensor platforms
Any teams preparing to submit, either as part of existing collaborations or newly formed, may reach out to the contacts listed below for more information. UNC | Andrew Kant (akant@email.unc.edu), Associate Director, FastTraCS NC State | Adam Curry (adam.curry@ncsu.edu), Innovation Ecosystem Director Note: Participation in the virtual technology Showcase is strongly encouraged, though not a requirement to submit.
