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.

Disclosed Conflict of Interest with

Foresite Healthcare, LLC

Disclosed Value
Listed Reason
Equity Interest - Non-publicly traded entity ( e.g., stock, stock option, or other ownership interest)

Dr. Marilyn Rantz has equity interest in Foresite Healthcare, LLC and serves in an advising role for the company. Foresite Healthcare, LLC is a privately held startup company that has licensed eldercare sensor technologies from the University of Missouri and is focused on commercialization of the technologies. The technologies include an in-home health monitoring system and electronic health record to support aging in place. These technologies are the result of research by the School of Engineering and School of Nursing at the University of Missouri. Foresite Healthcare, LLC is related to Dr. Marilyn Rantz’s institutional responsibilities and is an interest whose value cannot be readily determined through reference to public prices or other reasonable measures of fair market value.

In the project listed above, Investigators propose to develop a methodology for linguistics summarization of sensor data collected from Foresite Healthcare’s LLC’s technologies utilized to monitor older adults in TigerPlace, a unique aging-in-place facility near the University of Missouri Campus. It has been determined by the University of Missouri Conflict of Interest Committee that this is a Financial Conflict of Interest as defined by the Public Health Service (PHS) regulations on Responsibility of Applicants for Promoting Objectivity in Research for which PHS Funding is Sought (42 C.F.R. Part 50, Subpart F) and Responsible Prospective Contractors (45 C.F.R. Part 94). Dr. Marilyn Rantz’s equity interest in Foresite Healthcare’s LLC’s relates to the project listed above and has the potential to significantly and directly impact the design, conduct, or reporting of this project. Dr. Marilyn Rantz is the Co-Investigator and her main responsibilities will be coordinating nursing involvement and TigerPlace/Americare logistic issues. She will also participate in the alert evaluation effort.

Listed Research Project
Linguistic Summarization of Sensor Data for Early Illness Recognition in Eldercare

Project Narrative Older adults and others benefit most from early detection of health changes and early treatment to prevent hospitalization or nursing home placement. In-home sensors hold enormous potential for identifying early changes in health but analyzing the resulting data is challenging for clinicians due to its variety and volume. We propose to develop a methodology for linguistic summarization of the sensor data that will facilitate clinical decision making. We will apply our summarization methodology for early illness detection and validate it in 15 different nursing homes from within the state of Missouri where we deployed remote monitoring technology.

Sources: National Institutes of Health, public records requests filed at multiple public state universities

Notes: When a more specific filing date is not available for an individual financial disclosure or conflict of interest form, we use the year the form was filed. If the year was not disclosed, we report the range of years covered by our public records requests. In a few cases, a start date was provided instead of a filing date. In those cases, we use the start date instead.

Fewer than 10% of records from the University of Florida and fewer than 1% of records from the University of Texas system were removed because they did not contain enough information.

ProPublica obtained additional financial disclosures and conflict of interest forms that we have not yet digitized and added to the database. You can download those disclosures in the ProPublica Data Store.
