The center will employ data, analytics and decision support to improve care delivery as well as population health management. It will focus on efforts to develop smart/sensor device data capture, data integration, knowledge extraction and decision support technologies.
The center will also leverage the UMass Medical School Data Lake to generate seed results that can help the center pursue private or federal funding.
David McManus, MD, associate professor of medicine; Jomol Mathew, PhD, associate CIO; and Silvia Corvera, MD, professor of molecular medicine, will serve as principal investigators at the center.
The $100,000 grant was part of the University of Massachusetts’ President’s Science & Technology Initiatives Fund.
