Evaluate the use of a portable multi-modal physiological monitoring system in the virtual reality environment for the assessment of mild traumatic brain injury

加州大学圣地亚哥分校和FDA将联合开发和测试一种可穿戴且易于部署的系统，该系统基于虚拟现实护目镜，用于收集轻度创伤性脑损伤（TBI）患者和健康参与者的同步大脑和生物识别信号。他们还将开发先进的计算方法来识别与TBI相关的异常生物医学信号。该项目的目标是测试使用便携、紧凑和可部署的系统作为TBI的院前和院后诊断和监测工具的可行性。加州大学圣地亚哥分校和FDA联合提出了一项为期12个月的计划，旨在设计、开发、制造和测试一种可穿戴且易于部署的系统，该系统基于虚拟现实（VR）头戴式显示器（HMD），以收集TBI患者和健康参与者的同步神经和生理数据。VR头戴式显示器的使用允许使用紧凑的外形因素以舒适的可穿戴方式收集多模态生物传感数据，为在受伤后立即评估和评估各种认知任务下的大脑和精神（即院前护理）提供前所未有的机会。该项目的目标是确定便携式多模态生理信号监测系统作为TBI诊断和监测工具的实用性。该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

UCSD and FDA will jointly develop and test a wearable and easily deployable system, based on virtual-reality goggles, to collect synchronized brain and biometric signals from mild traumatic brain injury (TBI) patients and healthy participants. They will also develop advanced computational approaches to identify abnormal biomedical signals associated with TBI. The goal of this project is to test the feasibility of using a portable, compact, and deployable system as a pre- and post-hospital diagnostic and monitoring tool of TBI.UCSD and FDA jointly propose an intense, twelve-month program to design, develop, fabricate and test a wearable and easily deployable system, based on a Virtual-Reality (VR) Head-Mounted Display (HMD), to collect synchronized neural and physiological data from TBI patients and healthy participants. The use of VR HMD allows the use a compact form factor for collecting multi-modal bio-sensing data in a comfortably wearable manner, providing unprecedented opportunities to assess and evaluate the brain and mind under various cognitive tasks immediately after an injury (i.e. pre-hospital care)The objective of this project is to determine the utility of a portable and multi-modal physiological signal monitoring system as a diagnostic and monitoring tool of TBI.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
