Improving Measurement Tools for Sternal Skin Conductance and Hot Flashes: Phase I Sbir: The National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine (NCCAM), the National Institute on Aging (NIA), the National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering (NIBIB), and the Office of Research on Womens Health (ORWH) invite Phase 1 small business grant applications to conduct research to improve measurement tools or devices for sternal skin conductance. Sternal skin conductance devices have been used to monitor hot flashes, but existing tools are limited in the amount of data that they can collect and their utility under ambulatory conditions. Improved measurement tools that are reliable, user-friendly, reasonably priced, and can collect data for extended periods of time are needed to evaluate the efficacy of various therapies, including complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) modalities, to reduce hot flashes under unsupervised, ambulatory conditions in clinical studies. Such tools and devices could improve the efficiency and economy of future clinical trials, but research in the area of hot flash measurement has been very limited. Applicants are strongly encouraged to include appropriate bioengineering and clinical collaborations to achieve clinically relevant tools or devices. Personnel with appropriate expertise should be involved in all phases of the proposed effort, including the development of initial concepts and approaches, design of the tool or device, and preliminary validation of the clinical measurement tools or devices to monitor sternal skin conductance.
