Hospitalization costs in the United States are among the world’s highest. However, such costs do not reflect highest quality of care, particularly for chronic health conditions. Immediate action is needed to shift from a model relying on care in hospital settings, to a model in which patients manage their health from home. The Center to Stream Healthcare In Place (C2SHIP) unites the best minds in medicine and bioengineering with leaders in biomedical research and industry, to develop and promote in-place care technologies. 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. C2SHIP will accelerate innovation through partnerships, multi-specialty collaborations, resource sharing, and educating workforce to promote self-care technologies. The Center’s trans-disciplinary team will pursue research and development in new sensors, wearable technology, 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. Caltech will focus on developing new materials, devices, and artificial intelligence tools for data analysis and visualization. Caltech will collaborate with other sites for the clinical evaluation of the developed technologies.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. Caltech will recruit students and engage faculty across Divisions, e.g., in engineering, chemistry and biology. Caltech promotes an inclusive environment, allowing the Center to engage underrepresented individuals from diverse backgrounds.Data produced from the projects will be housed at C2SHIP Center’s shared servers 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. Caltech’s projects that collect patient data will be approved by its IRB office 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.

美国的住院费用是世界上最高的。然而，这些费用并没有反映出最高质量的护理，特别是对慢性健康状况而言。需要立即采取行动，从依赖医院护理的模式转变为患者在家管理健康的模式。该中心流医疗到位（C2SHIP）团结在医学和生物工程与生物医学研究和行业的领导者最优秀的头脑，开发和推广到位护理技术。亚利桑那大学是C2SHIP的牵头机构，合作机构包括南加州大学、贝勒医学院和加州理工学院。C2SHIP将通过合作伙伴关系、多专业合作、资源共享和教育员工来促进自我护理技术，从而加速创新。该中心的跨学科团队将致力于新传感器、可穿戴技术、系统集成、智能数据挖掘和综合数据可视化的研究和开发。通过“数字健康”，患者数据可以流传输到远程位置的医疗专业人员，为家中的弱势患者建立移动的中心，并实现个性化护理协调。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。加州理工学院将专注于开发用于数据分析和可视化的新材料、设备和人工智能工具。加州理工学院将与其他研究中心合作，对开发的技术进行临床评估。该中心将通过合作伙伴关系加速学术界和工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来改变医疗保健服务，同时降低医疗保健成本并防止住院。学生参与拟议的研究项目将与中心公司和组织创造机会，并在C2SHIP会议和研讨会上提供多学科参与。加州理工学院将招收学生，并聘请跨部门的教师，例如，在工程学，化学和生物学中。加州理工学院提倡包容性的环境，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数据共享文件夹保存在C2SHIP中心的共享服务器上。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。加州理工学院收集患者数据的项目将在项目开始前得到IRB办公室的批准。所有数据都将被去识别化，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NSF的法定使命，并被认为值得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来支持。
