VISIONWe envision a paradigm shift in health informatics enabled by wearable nanotechnologies that monitor individual health parameters and environmental exposures. Long-term sensing will enable patients, doctors, and scientists to make direct correlations between health and environmental toxins leading to chronic disease prediction, management and treatment. ASSIST advances will accelerate environmental health research and clinical trials as well as inform environmental policy.

The NSF Nanosystems Engineering Research Center (NERC) for Advanced Self-Powered Systems of Integrated Sensors and Technologies (ASSIST) will develop and employ nano- enabled energy harvesting, energy storage, nanodevices and sensors to create innovative battery-free, body-powered, and wearable health monitoring systems.

MISSIONThe mission of ASSIST is to transform U.S. and global health informatics, electronics, and biomedical engineering industries through development of enabling nanotechnologies for energy harvesting, battery-free energy storage, and ultra-low-power computation and communication, integrated with physiological and ambient nanosensors and biocompatible materials, to empower personal environmental health monitoring and emergency response.

Critical to the impact of ASSIST’s wearable, self-powered sensing and communication devices are the medical, environmental exposure, and social acceptance aspects of the Center’s research. ASSIST engineers developing innovative technologies will interact with medical professionals and biocompatible materials experts, as well as environmental and social scientists, to integrate all aspects of systems design and development in two Systems Testbeds:

Medical, Environmental, and Social Aspects

Four subthrust teams will assure integration of medical and exposure science, biocompatibility, and analytics with technology development in each testbed:

+ Human and Social Factors: This team of medical professionals, environmental researchers, and social psychologists will identify clinical needs, specific physiological measures, social acceptance barriers, and environmental metrics to guide development of novel sensors.

+ Biocompatible Materials: Experts in biomedical engineering, human exposure science, toxicology, and biobehavioral health, environmental toxin causal relationships will carry out sensor-to-skin interface studies.

+ Testing and Data Analysis: Computer and environmental scientists will carry out key activities related to data analytics and pattern recognition to advance toward a new era of data-driven medicine tying environmental cause to health effect.

+ Integration, Wearability and Packaging: Systems integration engineers, textiles engineers, and packaging experts will work with technical thrusts to integrate key ASSIST technologies into wearable monitoring platforms. ASSIST will be guided by an engineered systems approach integrating research outputs in testbeds that will iteratively refine specifications and requirements for high-impact human use. ASSIST testbeds will leverage human applications laboratories to undertake Phase I and IIa testing at the University of North Carolina School of Medicine, NC State University’s College of Textiles, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, and other national centers of excellence.
