Our research has led to such practical results as:
-
Longer life for patients with lung cancer.
-
Reduction in relapse rates for people in recovery.
-
Shorter waiting times for patients trying to get into addiction treatment.
-
The improvement of quality of life among older adults.
How we do it
For patients and their family members
We use technology to improve the experience of coping with health challenges - and, ultimately, quality of life.
For Healthcare Organizations
We use process improvement and organizational change techniques to increase access to healthcare.
