Dark-Blood Delayed-Enhancement MRI: Improved Tissue Contrast and Blood-Pool Signal Suppression
Unmet Need Delayed-enhancement MRI (DE-MRI) is the standard for imaging myocardial infarction (MI), providing high-resolution maps of infarcted and viable myocardium. However, DE-MRI often suffers from poor differentiation between infarcted myocardium and the bright left…
Machine learning algorithm to improve performance of hearing aids and cochlear implants in reverberant environments
Unmet Need In the US, nearly 30 million adults require assistive hearing technology such as hearing aids and cochlear implants. Even with assistive devices, hearing impaired individuals have particular trouble with speech recognition in reverberant…
The Chronic Overlapping Pain Condition Screener
Unmet Need Ten Chronic Overlapping Pain Conditions (COPCs) are currently recognized by the National Institutes of Health Pain Consortium (eg, irritable bowel syndrome, chronic migraine headache, and chronic low back pain). These conditions affect millions…
Novel Self-Assembling Nanoparticles for Extended Duration Local Anesthetics
Unmet Need An estimated 40 million surgeries are performed every year in the United States. Out of this population, an estimated 80% had post-operative pain with 75% reporting it as moderate to extreme. Local anesthetics…
Automated drug diversion surveillance software
Unmet Need Drug diversion is a prevalent issue, among medical professionals. In addition to contributing to the opioid epidemic and causing infection outbreaks, drug diversion costs a yearly $70 billion within the healthcare industry alone.…
Clinically-Linked ECG and Arrhythmia Repository (CLEAR)
Invention Summary Duke inventors have developed a database of digital 12- lead ECG samples that represent key rhythms of cardiac disorders. Each patient’s disorder was validated by a licensed and board-certified cardiovascular medicine physician to…
Systems and methods for efficient prediction and design of neural stimulation
Unmet Need Bioelectronic therapy is the ability to deliver various electrical impulses to patients through implanted medical devices. These devices can treat heart failure, epilepsy, and chronic pain among other ailments. Depending on the disease,…
The Delirium Care Process Model: An interactive flowchart to standardize and inform delirium diagnosis and care
Unmet Need In the United States, the geriatric population was estimated to be about 55.8 million in 2020, comprising 17% of the total population. The size of this population is only expected to increase as…
MEWS: a clinical model to predict probability of maternal sepsis trigger in obstetrics patients
Unmet Need Sepsis is a life-threatening emergency characterized by an overactive and improper inflammatory response by the body to an infection or injury leading to tissue damage, organ failure and death if not treated promptly.…
Anesthesiology Resource Management System (ARMS), an AI software to predict and plan resource utilization
Unmet Need Surgery makes up a majority of both the costs and revenue for major hospitals, with operating rooms accounting for 40% of an average hospital’s annual budget. Human resources, especially in anesthesia, are among…
A multi-electrode multiplexed channel brain-computer interface for patient assistive technologies
Unmet Need According to the WHO, in 2019 neurological disorders were recognized as a growing public health challenge resulting in over 500,000 deaths globally. In the US alone, neurological diseases cause an estimated $800 billion-dollar…
Breast cancer risk prediction technology using genomic classifier
Unmet Need The earliest form of breast cancer, ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS), is diagnosed in almost 50,000 people in the U.S. each year. DCIS is considered noninvasive, as abnormal cells have not spread out…
