We are thrilled that our project "Appropriate Rehabilitation Technology via Passive Tactile Stimulation" was selected for NSF's Convergence Accelerator program. We aim to create low-cost, portable, take-home wearable technology for recovery of movement to enhance quality of life as well as employment opportunities for persons with movement disability after stroke.
NSF's Convergence Accelerator is developing use-inspired solutions to enhance the quality of life and employment opportunities for persons with disabilities. Through a $12 million investment, NSF has selected 16 multidisciplinary teams for the program's Track H: Enhancing Opportunities for Persons with Disabilities. Track H builds upon the Convergence Accelerator's mission of accelerating convergence research to address large-scale societal and economic challenges.
