TECHNOLOGY TRANSFER OPPORTUNITY: Digital to Analog Transformation and Reconstruction of ECG Data (MSC-TOPS-67)

NASA’s Technology Transfer Program solicits inquiries from companies interested in obtaining license rights to commercialize, manufacture and market the following technology. License rights may be issued on an exclusive or nonexclusive basis and may include specific fields of use. NASA provides no funding in conjunction with these potential licenses.

THE TECHNOLOGY: The innovators at the NASA Johnson Space Center have developed a new method and device for specialized digital to analog conversion (DAC) and reconstruction of multichannel electrocardiograms (ECGs), including 12-lead ECGs. Current devices do not have the functionality that allow for the transmission of stored digital ECG data collected from one manufacturer's ECG machine to another for an automated second opinion.

With this technology the physician can compare results by transferring the ECG data to another ECG machine regardless of location when a patient’s results are difficult-to-interpret for a second opinion. The technology also allows for the use of less expensive 12-lead ECG front ends or analog to digital conversion (ADC) hardware which is advantageous when in remote locations or with patients who are mobile during research studies.

The digital to analog transformation and reconstruction of ECG data technology is available for licensing.

To express interest in this opportunity, please submit a license application through NASA’s Automated Technology Licensing Application System (ATLAS) by visiting https://technology.nasa.gov/patent/MSC-TOPS-67 If you have any questions, please e-mail NASA’s Technology Transfer Program at Agency-Patent-Licensing@mail.nasa.gov with the title of this Technology Transfer Opportunity as listed in this SAM.gov notice and your preferred contact information.

For more information about licensing other NASA-developed technologies, please visit the NASA Technology Transfer Portal at https://technology.nasa.gov/ These responses are provided to members of NASA’s Technology Transfer Program for the purpose of promoting public awareness of NASA-developed technology products, and conducting preliminary market research to determine public interest in and potential for future licensing opportunities. No follow-on procurement is expected to result from responses to this Notice.
