Northwell Health has awarded $1.3 million toward the research and development of four employee-driven projects that have the potential to transform the future of health care. After a one-year hiatus, the health system renewed its annual ideas showcase — known as the 2021 Innovation Challenge — and came away with two potentially transformative projects: a 3D imaging device to identify tissue pressure injuries early and a spleen stimulator to treat bleeding. The care delivery category winner, "Use of Infrared Thermography (IRT) for Early Detection of Tissue Pressure Injury," is a 3D device to facilitate early detection of various ulcers. The technology was developed at Staten Island University by Alina Segal, a specialist physical therapist, and Anne Marie McDonough, Senior Director of Rehabilitation Medicine. The science category winner, "Treating Bleeding and Bleeding Disorders via High Intensity Focused Ultrasound Stimulation of the Spleen," is a project in collaboration with General Electric using a high- intensity focused ultrasound stimulation of the spleen to treat bleeding and bleeding disorders. Jared M. Huston, MD, Vice Chair for Education and System Chief for the Division of Surgical Education, is a lead researcher in the development of the device that can be worn on a belt and remotely stimulate clotting in the case of trauma, surgery or other invasive procedures where blood loss could prove deadly. The winners each earned $500,000 awards to bring their concepts to market. Two additional teams received $150,000 and will work with internal resources at Northwell to advance their ideas. n Jared M.
