SHRS faculty and researchers are stepping forward to ensure that AI is used in the most responsible way to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of health care delivery, and most importantly, to improve patient outcomes.
The Healthy Home Lab was presented with a $1 million HUD grant representing the first in the United States to study technology-based options for people aged 62-plus in public housing and focuses on helping older adults remain at home and age in place.
The University of Pittsburgh Healthy Home Lab (HHL) has been awarded a $1 million grant from the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to develop technology-enabled solutions to reduce falls and improve the safety of older adults living in public and rental housing.
The Healthy Home Laboratory is an innovative, collaborative resource where scientists, engineers, rehabilitation experts and community partners are coming together to maximize the health and safety of a typical home environment and allow more people to age safely and independently at home.
The HHL is a living laboratory where researchers across the University are designing and testing real-world, evidence-based solutions that will support community living among aging adults, people with disabilities and other vulnerable populations.
Professor Janet Freburger, Assistant Professor Christine McDonough and Professor Elizabeth Skidmore alongside other faculty outside SHRS have been awarded a $5 million training grants to create the Learning Health Systems training to improve Disability and chronic condition care (LeaHD) center.
