Los Institutos Nacionales de Salud (NIH) otorgaron siete contratos a empresas e instituciones para el desarrollo de soluciones de Salud Digital en el contexto de COVID-19. Estados Unidos continua como el pa\u00eds con mayor n\u00famero de contagios y fallecimientos por COVID-19 en el mundo, por lo que los servicios de salud est\u00e1n abiertos a la implementaci\u00f3n de tecnolog\u00edas de Salud Digital, con diferentes enfoques para prevenir, controlar y dar seguimiento a los contagios. De esta forma, el Instituto Nacional del C\u00e1ncer (NCI) y el Instituto Nacional de Bioingenier\u00eda (NIBIB), seleccionaron siete proyectos dentro de casi 200 propuestas. \u201cLas herramientas que estas organizaciones planean desarrollar podr\u00edan permitirnos utilizar esfuerzos de contenci\u00f3n, como pruebas de COVID-19, distanciamiento social y cuarentena, precisamente cuando y donde se necesiten.

El NCI otorg\u00f3 USD 306 millones para el apoyo a investigaci\u00f3n cient\u00edfica serol\u00f3gica y el desarrollo de nuevas tecnolog\u00edas para COVID-19. Los contratos que involucran a los siete proyectos ser\u00e1n adjudicados en dos fases, primero para demostrar la viabilidad del proyecto, y posteriormente, tras la evaluaci\u00f3n de los resultados, la fase dos proporcionar\u00eda fondos adicionales para un desarrollo completo del programa. El valor total de los contratos ser\u00eda de USD 22.8 millones y los proyectos tienen lapso de un a\u00f1o para completar ambas fases. Los siete proyectos son los siguientes: Evidation Health, Inc: Es una plataforma de medici\u00f3n de la salud para analizar una amplia gama de datos consentidos por el paciente, incluidos datos auto informados y datos de dispositivos port\u00e1tiles, para detectar COVID-19 y diferenciarlo de la gripe. IBM: Propone una soluci\u00f3n integrada que permite el seguimiento de contactos y la generaci\u00f3n de informes de estado de salud verificables, de esta forma genera datos de investigaci\u00f3n clave que facilitan la investigaci\u00f3n. iCrypto, Inc: Se trata de una plataforma para tel\u00e9fonos inteligentes que proporciona pruebas irrefutables del estado de las pruebas, la serolog\u00eda y la vacunaci\u00f3n de las personas. physIQ, Inc: Es una plataforma alojada en la nube para el an\u00e1lisis de datos a trav\u00e9s de inteligencia artificial. Funciona para crear un \u00edndice de referencia personalizado que podr\u00eda indicar un cambio en el estado de salud de los pacientes que han arrojado resultados positivos de COVID-19. Shee Atik\u00e1 Enterprises: Plataforma basada en tel\u00e9fonos inteligentes para monitorear y brindar apoyo a las personas con s\u00edntomas de COVID-19 (que pueden necesitar pruebas) y a las que ya dieron positivo. La aplicaci\u00f3n integrar\u00e1 un term\u00f3metro y un ox\u00edmetro de pulso con Bluetooth en un enfoque dise\u00f1ado exclusivamente para entornos de bajos recursos y poblaciones desatendidas. Universidad de California, San Francisco: Su propuesta es una herramienta de rastreo de contactos retroactiva basada en GPS para alertar a los usuarios sobre el contacto con personas infectadas con el SARS-CoV-2, identificar negocios que fueron visitados por alguien que luego dio positivo por COVID-19 y trabajar con esas empresas y departamentos de salud p\u00fablica sobre estrategias para reducir la propagaci\u00f3n del virus. Vibrent Health: Desarrollo de aplicaciones m\u00f3viles, integraciones de datos y algoritmos de aprendizaje autom\u00e1tico validados para identificar COVID-19 y diferenciarlo de la gripe, y para realizar el rastreo de contactos mediante tecnolog\u00edas Wi-Fi.
