The NSF Small Business Innovation Research grant is expected to help Alva Health scale its AI-powered, wrist-worn wearable as it expands technical and clinical validation and prepares for a 510(k) submission.
The highly competitive grant shows NSF’s willingness to expand the study of quantum information technology to universities that are aspiring to become major players in the field, said UTA professor Michael Vasilyeve, who will lead the project.
One purpose of the NSF's expansion program is to ensure a steady supply of skilled workers for the quantum information technology industry, which is constantly in need of more talent than is available.
