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

该规划补助金将用于研究在就地医疗保健领域建立大学与行业合作伙伴关系的可行性。虽然主要关注的是老年患者，但儿科慢性病在美国社会中很普遍，但医疗保健提供者基本上没有认识到这一点。拟议中的中心流医疗到位（C2 SHIP）将联合学术医学的最佳头脑与生物医学行业的领导者，研究和开发智能监测和干预可穿戴技术，特别是将专注于实现和促进老龄化到位，个性化医疗，以及通过电信，数据挖掘和综合反馈对慢性和非传染性疾病的智能管理。我们的研究重点将是老年患者在优化医疗生态系统中的核心作用和责任。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：在他/她的系统内为有需要的病人建立环境或移动的中心通过物联网将数据流真实的实时地传输给远程位置的医疗专业人员，从而促进了她自己的位置。这代表了描述环境和活动异常的关键的第一步。此外，拟议的C2 SHIP将侧重于缓解生理，环境和心理变化的真实的时间管理和干预，以及注入新的技术到位到相关的用户社区和住宅。拟议的C2 SHIP将调查技术和机制，可以促进真实的时间干预一些慢性病。该中心不仅将推进生理学，衰老和儿科医学的科学，还将通过我们的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。这将使新技术的快速发展成为可能，从而改变医疗服务，降低与慢性病护理和可预防的再入院相关的医疗成本，改善老年人和慢性病患者的预后和生活质量。该项目产生的数据将在密码保护下存储在C2 SHIP中心的服务器中，并保存五年。通过商业提供商实现共享。该奖项反映了NSF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.
