This database was last updated in December 2019 and should only be used as a historical snapshot. There may be new or amended records not reflected here.
Conflict of Interest
Institutions must file significant disclosures to the National Institutes of Health if they determine financial relationships could affect the design, conduct or reporting of the NIH-funded research. The NIH provided us with their entire financial conflict of interest database, with filings from 2012 through 2019.

Wearifi, Inc.
Equity Interest - Non-publicly traded entity ( e.g., stock, stock option, or other ownership interest)
Professor Rogers is a founder of and has equity interests in Wearifi, Inc., a company focused on creating the world’s thinnest, smallest, most flexible, and most lightweight near-field communication wearable device technology.
This project involves development of a stretchable and flexible sensor technology and the development of computational modeling and algorithms for statistical signal processing of the sensor data and pattern recognition to create a user-friendly interface for clinicians and patients, as well as application of the proposed sensor technologies and data processing and pattern recognition techniques to prosthetic clinical practice. Technology relative to small, wireless, wearable, and flexible devices for various applications is licensed to Wearifi.
Given the intersection of the company’s commercial pursuits and intellectual property interests with this research, Professor Roger’s relationship with the company and his involvement in this Northwestern research presents a potential conflict of interest that should be managed.
SCH: Interface Monitoring System to Promote Residual Limb Health
The proposed interface monitoring system, designed to promote residual limb health in persons who wear prostheses, in physical forms that are 'skin like', may demonstrate key technological and scientific advancements towards evidenced-based and person-centered prosthetic care.
