AI-Driven Assistive and Rehabilitation Technologies Services

The agency is seeking research and development services to create AI-driven assistive and rehabilitation technologies. The project aims to improve health and functional outcomes for individuals with physical disabilities that affect their mobility, reaching, grasping, and manipulation. Through this initiative, the agency wants to overcome existing barriers to technology efficacy and adoption by making rehabilitation more personalized, accessible, engaging, data-driven, and efficient. The scope of work covers the integration of artificial intelligence into light-weighting and unweighting rehabilitation technologies, assistance or resistance technologies, and motion capture and biofeedback technologies. The project also requires the integration of AI into augmented or virtual reality systems and game-based rehabilitation technologies. These systems must enable collaboration in clinical decision-making among clinicians, patients, and AI by providing quantitative patient analysis and pattern recognition. The requested technologies must support personalized rehabilitation plans by analyzing comprehensive patient data to dynamically adjust therapy based on real-time performance and recovery. The agency requires AI-powered wearable sensors and connected devices to enable remote monitoring and telerehabilitation. To improve patient engagement and program adherence, the technologies must gamify exercises and create personalized interactive environments. Only organizations based in the United States are eligible to bid on this opportunity. The selected contractor must perform all work offsite. The agency has not disclosed a specific budget and is currently looking for proposals to determine the cost of the project. Key dates and specific evaluation criteria are not specified in the project description.
