Development and Validation of Efficient Algorithms for Real-time Glucose Monitoring on a Multi-sensor Integrated Platform - the Long-term Goal of This Project Is to Develop a Scalable, User-friendly, and Affordable Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) System to Improve Diabetes Management. Ims Has Created the World’s Smallest Electrochemical Analyte Sensing Platform Using an Application-specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC) Based on Complementary Metal-oxide Semiconductor (CMOS) Technology. This Design Offers Several Advantages, Including Extreme Miniaturization, Enhanced Signal-to-noise Ratio (SNR), Multi-sensor Redundancy for Better Accuracy, and On-chip Temperature Calibration for Improved Reliability. the System Leverages Scalable Semiconductor and Flexible Hybrid Electronics Manufacturing Methods, Increasing Lot Sizes by Over 1000X Compared to Current CGMS, Potentially Simplifying Factory Calibration and Reducing Costs. It Also Provides Superior Performance, Such as Improved Hypoglycemia Accuracy, and Usability Benefits With a 5X Smaller and 50% Lighter Transmitter Compared to the Libre 3 CGM, Allowing for a Gentler Skin Adhesive That Reduces Irritation. Ims Has Demonstrated the Core Platform's Functionality in Humans Through a First-in-human (FIH) Feasibility Study Presented at Ada 2023 and a Second Human Study at Attd 2024, and Ada 2025 Showcasing Multi-day Sensor Operation. This Shows the Significance of the Platform for Further Nih Support. Currently, Retrospective Data Processing Is Used to Generate Glucose Readings From the Device Data. the Objective of This Grant Is to Optimize These Data Processing Algorithms to Generate Glucose Readings From the Ims CGM While Eliminating Noise (de-noising) and Combining Multi-sensor Data (fusion). Ims Has Shown That This Is Feasible. Upon Demonstrating in Vitro Feasibility in Phase I, These Algorithms Will Be Tested in Pre-clinical and Clinical Studies in Phase Ii. the Project Team Includes the Original Inventors From the California Institute of Technology (DR. Nazari, DR. Rahman, and MR. Sencan), Along With Seasoned Researchers and Industry Experts Such as Bill Van Antwerp (former Cso of Medtronic Minimed), Quality and Ip Expert John Heithaus, Commercialization Expert Paul Strasma (former Ceo of Capillary Biomedical), Clinical Expert DR. Anne Peters (head of Usc Diabetes Clinics), and Biosensor Expert DR. Natalie Wisniewski (former Cto of Profusa, Inc.). the Team Will Mentor MS. Narges Honarvar Nazari in Her Transition From Academic Research Into Medical Devices Industry and Entrepreneurship.

Everything here is this single award's whole record — signed, amended, paid — not a fiscal-year slice. The by-year charts elsewhere split an award across the years it was committed; this page keeps it whole.
Committed is what the government has legally promised on this award so far. Contracts can also carry a ceiling — the maximum if every option is exercised. Unspent ceiling is headroom, not money owed.
The cash actually disbursed against this award. The gap from committed is the disbursement pipeline: promised, not yet cashed.
Each transaction is a signing event — an action that created or changed the award, dated the day it was signed — not a payment. Negative amounts are real: money de-committed at closeout or renegotiation.
One bar, the award’s whole arithmetic: paid out, then committed, not yet paid, then unspent ceiling.
