The venture’s $1.4 million will be split among 20 research teams looking to address challenges regarding neurological testing for child athletes, nurses’ stress and migraines, according to a Jan. 20 press release. 

Some of the funding will provide money for new projects and continuing projects like the concussion smart device, developed by the Jump Simulation and Education Center’s Children’s Innovation Lab.

This device works to assess concussions in child athletes by using a reality game and a cellphone to detect impairments that are commonly associated with a concussion diagnosis. 

Other projects funded by this partnership can be found on the OSF website.

At the Becker's 11th Annual IT + Revenue Cycle Conference: The Future of AI & Digital Health, taking place September 14–17 in Chicago, healthcare executives and digital leaders from across the country will come together to explore how AI, interoperability, cybersecurity, and revenue cycle innovation are transforming care delivery, strengthening financial performance, and driving the next era of digital health.
