INNOVATION FUNNEL FOR FETAL MONITORING CHALLENGE - COORDINATION CENTER

快速加速诊断技术(RADx®Tech)胎儿监测挑战赛将奖励高达200万美元的奖金，以加快诊断和监测技术的开发，以降低胎儿发病率和死亡率的风险，从而改善胎儿和新生儿的健康结果。在本挑战中开发的成功技术将直接测量怀孕产前晚期和/或产中期间胎儿健康状况的一个或多个参数。这些参数将被用来提供可操作的信息，这些信息可用于临床决策，并可在护理地点或家庭环境中实施。所需技术的示例包括但不限于可穿戴设备、启用智能手机的诊断工具、集成传感和/或成像技术、数字健康平台以及体外诊断设备或测试。重要的是，技术必须具有在未来5年内进入市场的合理可能性，并必须具有在低资源环境中可获得、成本效益高的使用和影响的强大潜力，例如低收入和中等收入国家以及高收入国家地区，这些地区获得高质量产前保健的机会有限。 该合同将为RADx®技术创新漏斗协调中心提供支持，以获得胎儿监护挑战奖。 消息来源：https://www.challenge.gov/?challenge=radx-tech-fetal-monitoring

The Rapid Acceleration of Diagnostics Technology (RADx® Tech) Fetal Monitoring Challenge will award up to $2 million in prizes to accelerate the development of diagnostic and monitoring technologies to reduce the risk of fetal morbidity and mortality and thus improve fetal and neonatal health outcomes. Successful technologies developed in this Challenge will directly measure one or more parameters of fetal health status during the late antepartum and/or intrapartum periods of pregnancy. These parameters will be used to provide actionable information that can be used for clinical decision-making and be implementable at either the point of care or in a home-based setting. Examples of desired technologies include, but are not limited to, wearable devices, smartphone-enabled diagnostic tools, integrated sensing and/or imaging technologies, digital health platforms, and in vitro diagnostic devices or tests. Importantly, technologies must have a reasonable likelihood of market entry within the next 5 years and must have strong potential for accessible, cost-effective use and impact in low-resource settings, such as low- and middle-income countries as well as areas of high-income countries where there is limited access to high-quality prenatal healthcare. This contract is to support the Coordination Center for the RADx® Tech Innovation Funnel for the Fetal Monitoring Challenge Award.
