The Rochester Institute of Technology and the University of Rochester Medical Center (URMC) are planning a clinical trial of AI-enabled toilet seats to determine if vital signs can be monitored to reduce re-hospitalization of heart patients.
New-Medical.Net article reports on the joint project by researchers at Rochester Institute of Technology and the University of Rochester Medical Center (URMC) to reduce re-hospitalization rates for people with heart failure.
David Borkholder, Adam Smith, Linwei Wang, and Caroline Easton won 50K in seed funding to advance their project titled Improving Health for the Aging through Daily Vital Signs Monitoring.
Toilet seats with high-tech sensors might be the non-invasive technology of the future that could help reduce hospital return rates of individuals with heart disease.
WHAM-TV reports on the Fully-Integrated Toilet Seat (FIT Seat) research led by Dave Borkholder, a professor in the Kate Gleason College of Engineering, in collaboration with the University of Rochester Medical Center funded by a new 2.9M grant from the National Institutes of Health (NIH).

Dr. Borkholder was nominated, reviewed, and elected by peers and members of the College of Fellows for “outstanding contributions to precision biomedical devices that integrate advanced microsystems, federal policy, and research mentoring.”
Nicholas Conn always knew he wanted to help people — he just didn't know that helping people would mean engineering a toilet seat that can detect congestive heart failure.
Now, a team at the Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT) in New York has come up with a clever way to get patients with heart failure to track their heart health—let a toilet do it for them.
Nuzhet Nihaar Nasir Ahamed, PhD Student, won the 2019 Outstanding Service Award from RIT's International Students Committee. This award recognizes international students who have made special contributions to campus life at RIT or the Rochester community.
Borkholder, professor of microsystems engineering at Rochester Institute of Technology, is researching the effectiveness of a sensor system his team designed and integrated into a seat that looks no different than those found at local home improvement stores.
Jing Ouyang, a Microsystems engineering PhD student in the Borkholder Biomedical Microsystems, won the ‘Best Poster’ award at the Advances in Functional Materials Conference (AFM 2017).
David Borkholder, PhD, CTO and Founder of BlackBox Biometrics®, Inc., does not follow the status quo. When he applied for a Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) grant in 2009 to study traumatic brain injury (TBI) at Rochester Institute of Technology, Dr. Borkholder placed his focus on measuring blast overpressure following an explosion, rather than acceleration.
Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) is a significant health concern facing a growing number of occupations and disciplines.
On this week’s Tech Nation, Dr. Moira Gunn speaks with Dr. David Borkholder, Founder and CTO about BlackBox Biometrics’ wearable technology to measure concussive forces: The Blast Gauge System and Linx IAS.
The Verge highlighted Linx IAS in a special Consumer Electronics Show 2015 edition of Detours.
