Dr. Keith Kocis, Professor of Pediatrics, received a $188,812 grant from the University of North Carolina Research Competitiveness Fund to further develop his prototype medical device for continuously assessing the risk of mortality in critically ill children. Kocis and his team are developing REALTROMINS (Real Time Risk of Mortality and Instability), into a family of next-generation medical devices that will help medical teams better monitor, assess, and respond to the changing clinical condition of patients.
"We are deeply honored to have been selected as one of the first recipients of the Research Competitiveness Grant created by the North Carolina General Assembly this year to help promote innovation that has a high likelihood of economic impact for the state," Kocis said. "Our expanded family of devices will compete for an exponentially increased share of a $1.2 billion a year industry."
