Point of Care Center for Emerging Neurotechnologies (POC-CENT)

描述（由申请人提供）： 新兴神经技术护理点中心（POC-CENT）专注于开发 神经系统紧急情况的诊断技术，医生需要快速获得信息。待开发技术的职责是推进急诊室、神经外科手术室、神经放射科和神经外科重症监护室中神经科患者的即时信息和信息流。实际上，任何时候，医生需要来自神经系统患者的快速信息，其将被认为具有对护理点诊断信息的潜在需求。这将包括但不限于：血液检查、尿液分析、成像、非侵入性传感器、脊髓液和活检/组织样本。 在POC-CENT中，有5个核心代表了众多学科，以促进和促进采取 并将其应用于临床。这些核心是：1）临床测试，2）探索性项目，3）临床需求评估，4）培训和5）管理。支持这些核心，我们有来自神经病学，神经外科，工程，创业发展，商业界，医疗器械行业和大学管理的代表。辛辛那提大学和辛辛那提社区的一个优势是，我们目前为我们的生命科学社区做所有这些核心。我们拥有多个企业孵化器，丰富的临床试验经验，丰富的培训和资助机会，适用于技术开发的各个阶段。事实上，将有机会与当地其他资助机构合作，为进入我们计划的技术增加价值。 我们团队的目标是通过提供有关他们正在经历的生物局部事件的快速可靠信息来改善神经系统患者的护理和健康。我们将通过开发一系列技术和途径来实现这一目标，以开发专注于即时诊断的新兴神经技术。此外，我们将在该地区与POCT研究网络密切合作，以实现我们的目标。我们很幸运有一个工程，医疗，科学和商业社区，已经很好地合作，并可以促进做这个项目的所有方面作为POCT研究网络的一部分。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Point-of-Care Center for Emerging Neuro Technologies (POC-CENT) is focused on developing diagnostic technologies for neurologic emergencies where information is needed by the physician quickly. The remit for the technologies to be developed is to advance point-of-care information and information flow for the neurologic patient in the emergency room, neurosurgery suite, for neuroradiology and the neurosurgical intensive care unit. Indeed anytime the physician requires rapid information from the neurologic patient it will be considered as having potential need for point-of-care diagnostic information. This will include but not be limited to: blood tests, urinalysis, imaging, non-invasive sensors, spinal fluid, and biopsy / tissue samples. In the POC-CENT, there are 5 cores representing numerous disciplines to foster and facilitate taking ideas and applying them to clinical applications. These cores are: 1) Clinical testing, 2) Exploratory projects 3) Clinical Needs Assessment, 4) Training and 5) Administration. Supporting these cores we have representatives from Neurology, Neurosurgery, Engineering, Entrepreneurial Development, The Business Community, The Medical Device Industry and University Administration. A strength of the University of Cincinnati and the Cincinnati community is that we currently do all of these cores for our life sciences community. We have multiple incubators for companies, strong clinical trials experience, a wealth of training and funding opportunities for all stages of technology development. Indeed there will be an opportunity to partner with other funding agencies locally to add value to the technologies that enter into our program. Our team's goal is to improve the care and health of the neurologic patients by providing fast and reliable information about the biolocal event they are experiencing. We will achieve this goal by developing a pipeline of technologies and a pathway to develop emerging neuro technologies focused on point-of-care diagnostics. Further, we will work closely in the region and with the POCT Research Network to accomplish our goals. We are fortunate to have an engineering, medical, scientific and commercial community that already works well together and can be facilitated to do all the aspects of this project as part of the POCT Research Network.
