NIH awarded a grant to develop a wireless catheter dressing for early infection detection using electrochemical and machine learning methods, with a project duration from 2023 to 2026.
Description
The project aims to develop a wirelessly operated catheter dressing capable of real-time, non-invasive monitoring of bacterial growth at the catheter insertion site, utilizing electrochemical activity measurements and machine learning for early detection of infections. The project involves collaboration with Texas A&M University and is funded by NIH grant PAR-22-126.
