IP and Technology Barrier: Patent pending platform capable of using adher-ence data to predict health outcomes. AE is the first company to develop and employ predictive analytics derived from patient device use for interventional care for chronic lung diseases.
Regulatory Barrier: SelfAware platform is the first Class II monitoring platform with clinical evidence to substantiate our claims. This forces entrants to meet this same standard to compete.
Endorsements:
Patient - Engineer - Scientist: I am uniquely placed to lead our effort to build a device that effectively predicts health outcomes without interfering with day-to-day life of patients.

RE: Letter of Intent to Participate in CTI Project Improving adherence in cystic fibrosis: monitoring patient behavior through a smart network of sensors attached to patients' medical equipment.
Project Manager: Eli Goldberg, ETHZ
Dear CTI Grant Review Committee,
This letter is documentation of our Division of Pulmonary Medicine’s intention to participate in the project: Improving adherence in cystic fibrosis: Investigation of the feasibility of monitoring patient behavior through a smart network of sensors attached to patients' medical equipment, should it be funded. Should the project study not be funded, this letter is effective for a term not to exceed six months from the letter date. The six-month term may be extended, provided the project is under active negotiation and/or active research is ongoing.
Our Research Group within the Division of Pulmonary Medicine collaborates strongly with lung transplant programs around the world and plays an active role in national and international professional societies and collaborations. Major research focus areas include diagnosing, monitoring, and understanding and treating chronic lung allograft dysfunction (CLAD). Explicit in these research directions is the desire to improve clinical management and procedure with regards to establishing best practices, optimizing patient self-management and adherence, and increasing health outcomes for lung transplant patients and patients with cystic fibrosis before and after lung transplantation.
This project proposes an innovation in telemedicine that is particularly well aligned with the strategic direction of the group; to improve clinical management procedures with regards to improving health outcomes for lung transplant and CF patients. Our competencies of specific importance to this project are our medical expertise and research experience, which will be employed to identify, and validate, clinically relevant outcomes of this project.
Sincerely,
Christian Benden MD FCCP Date: 06 March 2016

Improving adherence in cystic fibrosis: monitoring patient behavior through a smart network of sensors attached to patients' medical equipment.
Dear CTI Grant Review Committee, The mission of the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation is to cure cystic fibrosis and to provide all people with the disease the opportunity to lead full, productive lives by funding research and drug development, promoting individualized treatment, and ensuring access to high-quality, specialized care. The mission of the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation is fueled by a dedicated group of scientists, caregivers, donors, volunteers and people with CF and their families who are united by a common goal: to find a cure for this devastating disease and help those with CF live longer, healthier lives. The project, Improving adherence in cystic fibrosis: monitoring patient behavior through a smart network of sensors attached to patients' medical equipment, and the potential of the resultant innovation, SelfAware, to improve communications with patients, to gain insight into patient behavior, to improve patient adherence, and to prevent adherence-related hospitalizations and readmissions is of significant interest to us. In support of this project, this letter is evidence of our interest in potentially purchasing the innovation for use and/or research should it be fully realized. However, this letter does not constitute a purchase order. The Cystic Fibrosis Foundation or its affiliates are not obligated, under any circumstances, to purchase the resultant innovation.
Sincerely,

Improving adherence in cystic fibrosis: monitoring patient behavior through a smart network of sensors attached to patients' medical equipment.
Dear CTI Grant Review Committee,
The Johns Hopkins Adherence Research Center (JHARC) is an early adopter of new electronic medication monitoring devices and is an international leader in the development of device-specific quality control procedures. For almost three decades, JHARC has conducted investigator-initiated studies of adherence measurement and promotion interventions. There is specific interest and expertise in behavioral studies to reduce health disparities, disseminating interventions to community settings, and using technology to improve the quality and sustainability of interventions.
As the co-Director of JHARC and as an experienced and well-funded adherence research investigator, I can personally attest to the research community’s desire and need for remote behavioral monitoring systems, such as the one being proposed here. Existing devices are not reliable, flexible enough to work across many therapeutic delivery devices, and often intrude on existing behavioral habits, thus making them unacceptable to patients, clinicians, and researchers alike. For decades I have worked with companies attempting to make a viable device, yet they have failed, particularly for respiratory treatments. With emerging technologies, passionate developers, and a focus on the end-user experience, I think we may be on the verge of changing adherence measurement and our capability to provide tailored, cost-effective interventions to help overcome the personal and societal burden of nonadherence. Furthermore, the emergence of health-related wearables and tracking devices throughout all areas of our lives is leading to patient and healthcare provider expectations that this detailed and nuanced data will be available to support healthcare decision-making.
Sincerely,
Kristin A. Riekert, PhD

September 11, 2016 Dr. Eli Goldberg CEO, SelfAware Engineering 8715 West Highway 71 Austin, TX 78735 RE: Intent to establish clinical research partnership - SelfAware Engineering adherence monitoring platform Dear Dr. Goldberg: I am Director of the Center for Pediatric Abdominal Pain Research at Baylor College of Medicine/Texas Children's Hospital. Our research focuses on elucidating the causes of, and developing treatments for, functional abdominal pain disorders in children. SelfAware Engineering’s technology platform, SelfAware, offers the possibility to further our research goals by incorporating real-time monitoring of abdominal function, as well as other physiologic parameters (e.g., bowel sounds, galvanic skin resistance, skin temperature, vibration, orientation, breathing and heart rate). These data are critical in improving our understanding of the relationship between physiologically measurable biomarkers and functional abdominal pain disorders in children. It is my intent to jointly conduct research utilizing SelfAware to commence mid-2017 pursuant to the development of a research protocol to be mutually agreed upon, or pursuant to an accompanying grant application. Together, I believe that SelfAware Engineering and the Center for Pediatric Abdominal Pain Research have a unique opportunity to significantly improve our understanding of functional abdominal pain disorders in children and consequently, move towards novel treatment paradigms.
