$350,000Public Health Relevance:
Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and its consequences place a large burden on the public and on the individuals who suffer from it, yet the clinical evaluation of PTSD is limited by its dependence on the subjective self-report of patients. Ambulatory physiological monitoring could aid in the research, screening, and treatment of PTSD, but current tools are too cumbersome to feasibly monitor the relevant parameters during a patient's daily life. The overall goal of this multi-phase SBIR project is to develop, validate ad commercialize an ambulatory PTSD monitor that can measure relevant physiological parameters over long periods of time without disrupting the patient's life.
