| Description: | The purpose of this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is to encourage Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) research and development of assistive technology for individuals with Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias (ADRD) and their caregivers/care partners, to enhance their health and well-being, reduce illness and disability, and improve quality of life. Particularly of interest are technologies for providing psychosocial support (enhancing mood, mitigating the effects of loneliness, and enhancing social connection and communication), reducing stress (e.g., through the provision of biofeedback or other forms of behavioral therapy) and assisting with care management and activities of daily living. To achieve these ends, this FOA encourages a multi-disciplinary approach to foster collaborations between geriatricians (particularly those with knowledge of cognitive impairment and dementia), psychologists, neurologists, computer scientists, and mechanical, electrical and software engineering professionals. Applications should demonstrate the potential for broad population impact, including that the proposed assistive technology is: 1. Innovative 2. Efficacious and effective 3. Scalable 4. Low-cost |
