The National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering has released a Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) to encourage U01 Cooperative Agreement applications for the development of wearable and non-wearable sensors that can monitor pediatric environmental exposures, physiological signals, activity, and/or behavior in a natural environment to gain new insights into environmental determinants of asthma. These sensors (newly developed, existing, or redesigned) will need to be able to plug and play, physically or wirelessly, with informatics platforms that will be developed in FOA RFA-EB-15-003.The platforms will be designed for data acquisition (from the sensors), integration, processing, visualization, and secure uploading of individual platform results to a data and software coordination and integration center that will be developed in FOA RFA-EB-15-004. The three FOAs together (RFA-EB-15-002, RFA-EB-15-003, RFA-EB-15-004) will make up the Pediatric Research using Integrated Senor Monitoring Systems (PRISMS) Program. The central mission of the PRISMS Program is to develop sensor-based integrated health monitoring systems to serve as research tools to measure pediatric environmental, physiological, and behavioral factors in epidemiological studies of asthma, and eventually other chronic diseases, in the pediatric population. The three arms to the PRISMS Program will work very closely together to ensure functionality of the overall systems.
