The broader impact/commercial potential of this I-Corps project is the development of a technology to better reintroduce the human touch in telehealth and improve the general quality of care. Most telehealth companies have focused on providing convenient logistics. Less effort has been devoted to consultation accuracy. This proposed technology uses Internet of Things (IoT) sensing to enable a more precise medical diagnosis, with measurement of temperature, blood pressure, and specific inputs depending on the specialty. Diagnosis and monitoring of neuromuscular disorders rely on a nuanced physical examination. Most neurologists are unfamiliar with telemedicine's potential use for stroke and movement disorders. This proposed technology may provide improved assessments of variable weaknesses, increase patient monitoring and education, reduce the burden and cost of clinic visits, and increase patient access.This I-Corps project is based on the development of a cyber-physical and community system that address the use of telemedicine for neuromuscular disorders using computer vision, robotics, and non-invasive cognitive assessment tools. This technology includes a telehealth platform augmented by a digital twin of the patient that assists with diagnostic testing. This system lets doctors focus on taking notes, interacting with the patient, and getting more accurate diagnosis for their patients.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.

这个I-Corps项目的更广泛影响/商业潜力是开发一种技术，以更好地在远程保健中重新引入人情味，并提高护理的总体质量。大多数远程医疗公司都专注于提供便利的物流。在咨询准确性方面投入的精力较少。 这项拟议的技术使用物联网（IoT）传感来实现更精确的医疗诊断，测量温度，血压和特定输入，具体取决于专业。 神经肌肉疾病的诊断和监测依赖于细致入微的体格检查。大多数神经科医生不熟悉远程医疗在中风和运动障碍方面的潜在用途。 这项拟议中的技术可以提供改进的评估变量的弱点，增加病人的监测和教育，减少负担和成本的诊所访问，并增加patientaccess.This的I-Corps项目是基于网络物理和社区系统的发展，解决使用远程医疗的神经肌肉疾病，使用计算机视觉，机器人技术和非侵入性认知评估工具。该技术包括一个远程医疗平台，该平台由患者的数字孪生子增强，有助于诊断测试。该系统让医生专注于做笔记、与患者互动，并为患者获得更准确的诊断。该奖项反映了NSF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。
