He is working to design systems that help patients measure cardiac data to track their heart health. Other technologies would noninvasively quantify stress and modulate the body\u2019s response to help treat post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and listen to joints to assess musculoskeletal health.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EIn recent years, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has designated two technologies developed based on Inan\u2019s research as Breakthrough Devices, accelerating their use for patients. One is a handheld noninvasive vagus nerve stimulation device (from electroCore, Inc.) to reduce the physiological response to stress for PTSD patients. The other is an algorithm and wearable device to monitor patients with heart failure. The algorithm and wearable device are part of a company Inan cofounded called Cardiosense.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EInan is a fellow of IEEE, the American College of Cardiology, and the American Institute for Medical and Biological Engineering.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EThis is the third year in a row an ECE faculty member has received the honor.
