Development and Commercialization of a Weight Monitoring Platform for Wheelchair Users - Project Summary/abstract This Project Will Complete the Final Design and Development Steps to Commercialize the Fast In-bed Tracking (FIT) Platform, Which Is an E-health and Wellness Internet of Things (IOT) Monitoring System That Can Be Integrated Into a User’s Bed and Provide Person-centered, Real-world Outcomes to Support Health and Wellness. the Technical Feasibility of Fit Was Proven Over the Past Several Years and Has Demonstrated the Platform Can Support the Treatment of Several Chronic Conditions Across Different Populations, Including Obesity, Congestive Heart Failure, and Pressure Injuries. the Project Goals Will Be to (1) Complete Design Refinements for Fit and (2) Demonstrate the Platform’s Efficacy to Support Weight Loss Goals of Wheelchair Users. Wheelchair Users Are Twice as Likely as the General Population to Be Overweight or Obese and Excess Weight Not Only Exacerbates Mobility and Participation Limitations But Increases Risk for Secondary Health Problems. Evidence Reveals That Frequent Weight Monitoring Is a Key Driver for Weight Management, Which Puts Wheelchair Users at a Significant Disadvantage, Because They Have No Convenient Way to Measure Their Body Weight. as a Recent Example, Lack of Participant’s Ability to Self-weigh Was a Noted Limitation to a Weight Loss Program for Wheelchair Users, Known as the Group Lifestyle Balance Weight Loss Program Adapted for Individuals With Impaired Mobility (glb-aim). Fit Solves This Challenge by Passively Monitoring a User's Weight When They Get on and Off Their Bed. Our Lab and Community-based Feasibility Trials Demonstrated That Fit Successfully Tracks Weight for Individuals and Couples Sharing a Bed and That Users Find Fit Highly Usable. This Proposed Project Will Allow Our Team to Complete the Design Refinements Users Recommended During Our Community-based Feasibility Trial and Subsequently Examine the Efficacy of Fit in Supporting the Weight-loss Goals of Community-dwelling Wheelchair Users Through a Randomized Controlled Trial Using the Glb-aim.

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.
