Planning IUCRC University of Arizona: Center of Stream Healthcare In Place (SHIP)

这项规划补助金将用于研究在本地医疗保健领域建立大学与业界伙伴关系的可行性。虽然主要关注的是老年患者，但儿科慢性病在美国社会是一种地方性疾病，但在很大程度上没有被医疗保健提供者认识到。拟议中的医疗就地流中心（C2SHIP）将把学术医学领域最优秀的人才与生物医学行业的领导者联合起来，研究和开发智能监测和干预可穿戴技术，特别是将重点放在通过电信、数据挖掘和综合反馈实现和促进就地老龄化、个性化医疗以及慢性和非传染性疾病的智能管理上。我们的研究重点将放在老年患者在优化医疗生态系统中的核心作用和责任上。我们的跨学科研究将致力于以老龄化/健康“就地”概念为中心的可重构设计和系统集成的研究和开发：通过物联网向远程医疗专业人员实时传输数据，为有需要的患者在他/她自己的位置建立环境或移动中心。这是刻画环境和活动异常的关键的第一步。此外，拟议的C2SHIP将侧重于缓解生理、环境和心理变化，以进行实时管理和干预，并将新的就地技术注入相关用户社区和住宅。拟议的C2SHIP将研究能够促进对许多慢性疾病进行实时干预的技术和机制。该中心不仅将推动生理学、老龄化和儿科医学的发展，还将通过我们的合作伙伴关系加速学术界和产业界之间的知识和知识产权转移。这将允许快速开发新的就地技术，这些技术有可能改变卫生保健服务，降低与慢性病护理和可预防的再入院有关的卫生保健成本，并改善老年人和慢性病患者的结果和生活质量。该项目产生的数据将存储在C2SHIP中心的服务器上，并有密码保护，保存5年，并通过商业提供商共享。研究人员不会以任何形式记录或保留任何个人标识符。该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

This planning grant award will be used to study the feasibility of establishing a university-industry partnership in the area of healthcare-in-place. While the primary focus will be on aging patients, pediatric chronic conditions are endemic in American society yet largely unrecognized by healthcare providers. The proposed Center to Stream Healthcare In Place (C2SHIP) would unite the best minds in academic medicine with leaders in the biomedical industry to research and develop intelligent monitoring and intervening wearable technologies, and in particular will be focused on enabling and promoting aging in place, personalized medicine, and smart management of chronic and non-communicable disease through telecommunication, data mining, and comprehensive feedback. The thrust of our research will be on the aging patient's central role and responsibility in enabling an optimized healthcare ecosystem.Our trans-disciplinary research will pursue research and development in reconfigurable designs and system integration centered on the aging/health "in place" concept: establishment of an environment or mobile hub for patient-in-need within his/her own location facilitated by the streaming of data to medical professionals at remote locations in real time through the Internet of Things. This represents a crucial first step toward characterizing abnormalities in environment and activity. Moreover, the proposed C2SHIP will focus on the mitigation of physiological, environmental, and psychological changes for real time management and intervention as well as infuse new in place technologies into relevant user communities and residences.The proposed C2SHIP will investigate techniques and mechanisms that can facilitate real time interventions for a number of chronic diseases. The Center will not only advance the science of physiology, aging and pediatric medicine but also accelerate both knowledge and intellectual property transfer between academia and industry through our collaborative partnerships. This will allow for the rapid development of new in place technologies that can potentially transform health care delivery, reduce health care costs related to care of chronic disease and preventable re-admissions, and improve outcomes and quality of life for aging and chronically ill patients.Data produced from this project will be deposited in servers at the C2SHIP Center under password protection and kept for five years, with sharing enabled through a commercial provider. No personal identifiers will be recorded or retained by the researchers in any form.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
