ML-powered software for planning sleep apnea surgery
Addressed Need OSA is a common sleep disorder associated with daytime fatigue and cardiovascular disease. As many as half of OSA patients reject first-line treatments that use positive airway pressure, necessitating surgical intervention instead. Drug-induced sleep endoscopy (DISE), the current standard for selecting OSA surgical procedures, is expensive,...

Driving Skills Improvements in Teenagers with ASD using Virtual Reality
Addressed NeedVarious aspects of Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) have been under study for many years. While the emphasis has been on early identification and early treatment of children with ASD, a sometimes overlooked fact is that ASD children grow up to be teenagers. An essential life skill for teenagers is the ability to drive. However, ASD teens...
