Evolved Caregiving
Holistic Approaches for Innovative Care
Our comprehensive approach to population health means ensuring that caregivers and first responders have the social and technical support to optimize their efforts among all communities.
Integrating caregivers into the medical design process along with innovative engineering improves outcomes with new treatment models and technologies, while optimizing effectiveness of medical personnel themselves.
While we leverage advanced methods to assess and improve health technologies, we at
the same time seek to deeply understand and better the communications that guide and
enhance efficacy of health interactions. Below is a rotating selection of our standout
investigators in these areas.
