The Advanced Platform Technology (APT) Center in Cleveland, Ohio
The Advanced Platform Technology Center is a Department of Veterans Affairs Research Center in the Rehabilitation Research Development and Translation Broad Portfolio (RRDT). The Center addresses the pressing clinical needs of disabled Veterans by harnessing the most recent developments in untapped engineering and basic science disciplines, and applying them to design and disseminate new rehabilitation interventions. We facilitate the creation and clinical translation of novel, cross cutting devices or methodologies within a framework that promotes regulatory compliance, outsourcing by contract manufacturers, clinical testing, and dissemination throughout the rehabilitation community. Our unique and supportive environment enables APT Investigators to develop advanced assistive or restorative technologies that serve Veterans with sensory, motor, or cognitive deficits, as well as limb loss.
