Medical and Community Validation for Proactive Health Systems
The Center for Future Health conducts independent research addressing the behavioral, social, and organizational needs for a Proactive Health Community. This includes:
- Community-wide translational research
- Medical community adoption barriers
- Reduction of disparities
The University of Rochester Medical Center has received the American Association of Medical Colleges highest award for its focus on community health, an indication of the breadth of outreach settings university researchers can access.
Evaluate Systems in Self-care, Home Care, and Mobile Care
Test concepts for medical effectiveness in collaboration with University of Rochester faculty at our Smart Medical Home Research Lab. We enable you to try out ideas with target users.
Evaluate prototypes in consumer settings. University clinical researchers have access to over 350,000 patients in the upstate NY and northern Pennsylvania area and the retirement home communities of the New York and National Association of Homes and Services for the Aging. A proven track record, the Medical Center has received the American Association of Medical Colleges award for its focus on community health.
