Smart, Wireless, Bioelectronic Pacifier for Real-Time Continuous Salivary Electrolyte Monitoring in Infants	Smart pacifier offers wireless, real-time, continuous detection of sodium and potassium levels in infants. This totally non-invasive monitoring pacifier eliminates the need for blood draws, which can only be done three times each day, and is designed to provide non-invasive neonatal health monitoring. Microfluidic channels are designed to efficiently pump optimum quantities and concentration of viscous saliva to the sensor area for quick measurement and to eliminate the need to induce salivary stimulation.	8942
Smart Webcam Shield Protects Users from Unknown External Digital Intrusion	Secure: Offers visual obstruction of the webcam even when remote software attempts to record without triggering the computer’s LED indicator Reliable: Automates the webcam safeguard for ongoing protection without reliance on user engagement Flexible: Enables two different actuators via the same sensor	8610
Smart Test Strip Enabled by Inkjet Printed Microfluids	Cost effective manufacturing approach Eco Friendly Light-weight	7505
Smart Porous Hydrogels to Increase Cold Supply Chain Efficacy of Biologics and Pharmaceuticals	Preservation: With the ability to adjust the pore size of the SMH, researchers may be able to increase the rejection rate of bacteria, thereby protecting the medicine by slowing down biodegradation. Extended use: Preserving the potency of the transported and stored biologic or pharmaceutical should allow for an improved shelf-life (regardless of the cold supply chain) and an increase in the supply accessible to patients. Lower cost: Using Georgia Tech’s SMH for the storage and handling of biologics or pharmaceuticals should minimize the dependence on a cold supply chain, which utilizes freezers that cost between $10,000-$15,000.	8685

Smart Nanosensor-Embedded Stent System for Wireless Surveillance of Restenosis in Coronary Artery Disease	An electronic stent that incorporates an ultrathin stretchable wireless sensor for continuous surveillance of restenosis along with neointimal proliferation and plaque deposition. There is no existing system that offers a clinically practical solution for continuous, real- time detection of both restenosis incidence and progression. This device will profoundly decrease the number of healthcare dollars spent on repeated revascularization due to restenosis in CAD.	8542
Smart Device Control of Robot Swarms in a Changing Environment	Intelligent: Minimizes the driving distance for each robot automatically and adapts to changes in the environment Efficient: Covers a large area more efficiently than one single, large robot Robust: Builds in collision avoidance and self-corrects to changes in the swarm, such as individual robot failures	6691, 6692
