IUCRC Phase I Baylor College of Medicine: Center to Stream Healthcare In Place (C2SHIP)

慢性疾病在经济上和情感上都是昂贵的。需要立即采取行动，改变目前的做法，在这种做法中，患者往往是被动的护理接受者，以增强患者在自我管理健康方面发挥中心积极作用的能力。就地分流医疗中心(C2SHIP)将学术医学和生物工程领域的最优秀人才与生物医药行业的领导者联合起来，研究、开发和推广就地医疗技术，以促进患者参与生态系统的肥沃。亚利桑那大学是C2SHIP的牵头网站，合作网站是南加州大学、贝勒医学院和加州理工学院。该中心将通过伙伴关系、多专业合作、资源共享和培养一支受过教育的劳动力队伍来加快创新，通过自我护理技术促进健康。该中心的跨学科团队将在新材料传感器、可重构设计、系统集成、智能数据挖掘和综合数据可视化方面进行研究和开发。通过“数字健康”，患者数据可以流向偏远地区的医疗专业人员，为弱势患者在自己的家中建立移动枢纽，并个性化护理协调。C2SHIP将专注于缓解生理、环境和心理变化，以便及时管理和干预。贝勒医学院(BCM)将专注于该中心的临床医学方面，加快将尖端技术就地转化为患者，同时培训学生和研究员远程患者护理。该中心将通过合作伙伴关系加快学术界和产业界之间的知识和知识产权转移。这将促进新技术的快速发展，并通过提高慢性病患者的生活质量，同时降低医疗成本和防止住院来改变医疗服务提供。学生参与建议的研究项目将创造与中心公司和组织的机会，并在C2SHIP会议和研讨会上提供多学科参与。BCM C2SHIP将招收医学、生物医学工程、联合卫生等专业的学生和教师。BCM促进一个包容性的环境，使中心能够吸引来自不同背景的代表性不足的个人。项目产生的数据将使用密码保护的Box数据共享文件夹存储在C2SHIP中心的中心范围的服务器中。Box是一家云计算公司，提供文件共享、协作和其他工具，用于处理上传到其服务器的文件。数据将保存五年。收集患者数据的BCM C2SHIP项目将在项目启动前获得BCM IRB的批准。所有数据都将被识别，不会以任何形式记录或保留个人识别符。这一裁决反映了NSF的法定使命，并已通过使用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

Chronic health conditions are financially and emotionally costly. Immediate action is needed to shift from current practice, in which frequently the patient is a passive recipient of care to empower patients to have a central active role in self-managing their health. The Center to Stream Healthcare In Place (C2SHIP) unites the best minds in academic medicine and bioengineering with leaders in biomedical industry to research, develop and promote in-place care technologies for fertilizing a patient engagement ecosystem. The University of Arizona serves as the C2SHIP Lead Site with Partner Sites being University of Southern California, Baylor College of Medicine, and California Institute of Technology. The Center will accelerate innovation through partnerships, multi-specialty collaborations, resource sharing, and preparing an educated workforce to promote wellness through self-care technologies.The Center’s trans-disciplinary team will pursue research and development in new material-based sensors, reconfigurable designs, system integration, intelligent data mining, and comprehensive data visualization. Through “Digital Health”, patient data can be streamed to medical professionals at remote locations, establishing a mobile hub for vulnerable patients in their own home, and personalizing care coordination. C2SHIP will focus on mitigating physiological, environmental, and psychological changes for timely management and intervention. Baylor College of Medicine (BCM) will focus on the clinical medicine aspect of the Center, accelerating translation of cutting-edge technologies to patients in-place, while training students and fellows in remote patient care.The Center will accelerate knowledge and intellectual property transfer between academia and industry through collaborative partnerships. This will promote rapid development of new technologies, and transform health care delivery by enhancing the quality of life of chronically-ill patients while reducing health care costs and preventing hospitalizations. Student engagement in the proposed research projects will create opportunities with Center companies and organizations, and provide multidisciplinary participation at C2SHIP conferences and workshops. BCM C2SHIP will recruit students and engage faculty in medicine, biomedical engineering, allied health. BCM promotes an inclusive environment, allowing the Center to engage underrepresented individuals from diverse backgrounds.Data produced from the projects will be housed in Center-wide servers at the C2SHIP Center using a password protected Box data sharing folder. Box is a cloud computing business which provides file-sharing, collaborating, and other tools for working with files that are uploaded to its servers. Data will be maintained for five years. BCM C2SHIP projects that collect patient data will be approved by BCM IRB prior to project onset. All data will be deidentified, with no personal identifiers recorded or retained 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.
