Research Programs We Support
Integrative Health
- a comprehensive approach to promoting, protecting, and understanding health
- respects the complex interrelationships that influence the health of individuals and populations
- acknowledges that these factors are shaped by public policies, economic conditions, social and cultural values, and physical environments
Comparative Effectiveness Research (CER)
- examining large, diverse populations, CER studies compare multiple therapeutic options to identify which work, for whom, and under what circumstances.
- CER studies produce scientific evidence that applies to the real world, enabling patients and health professionals to make more informed decisions.
Health Information Technology (HIT)
- we are collecting and storing vast amounts of healthcare data.
- the promise of ‘big data’ in healthcare has been limited by the challenge created by balancing the competing initiatives of privacy, transparency and ownership.
- precision medicine applies machine learning techniques to develop algorithm defined artificial intelligence programs
