ZetrOZ has been awarded federal and state grants to develop wearable sustained acoustic medicine ultrasound technology for management of lower back pain and back pain caused by herniated discs.
The ZetrOZ technology platform enables delivery of therapeutic ultrasound treatment to modulate pain and inflammation in tissue and could be used by astronauts on Earth and space-flight conditions.
The federal grant for $250,000 is from the National Space Biomedical Research Institute, which works with NASA to develop medical technologies that can benefit the health of crew members in space as well as on people on Earth. Connecticut Innovations and the Small Business Innovation group supported $250,000 in grant funding as well.
