Blood Pressure Measurement Technologies for Low-Resource Settings in the US and India (U01)
Hypertension diagnosis and management are critical needs in both the US and in India, and are opportune areas for technological innovation benefitting low-resource populations in both countries.
The purpose of this FOA is to solicit research leading to the development of new blood-pressure measurement
technologies for rapid, minimally intrusive, flexible monitoring and management of hypertension in underserved populations.
These technologies must be noninvasive and minimally obtrusive.
They should be usable in public areas for high-throughput screening, and/or be designed for individual use by untrained individuals in their own homes or regional healthcare settings.
These new technologies would make substantial contributions to the improvement of hypertension diagnosis and management in both countries.
A companion announcement has been released by the Indian government to support similar research by Indian investigators.
All investigators funded by the US or India will share results at a yearly meeting and collaborations will be developed among investigators from both countries as the work progresses.
