The first project provides remote supervised rehabilitation for patients who suffered from acute heart-disease-related conditions. 

Also awarded a grant was Penn Medicine’s LiveAware, which aids in cancer screening by both reducing clinician need to determine eligibility and promoting “on-time image-based screening.”

The final grant supported a text messaging system that helps at-home oral chemotherapy patients apply treatment. In addition to limiting visits for patients, the system aims to increase treatment schedule consistency and manage side effects.

The grant money, which averages $200,000 per grant, will be used to further develop the projects through trials to expand their use.
