The openCHA framework allows LLMs to connect with external data sources, enabling the collection of information and the creation of customized responses.

The team, led by Prof. Amir Rahmani, developed ZotCare, a platform that integrates sensors to monitor vital signs, movement, and sleep, transmitting the collected data to medical providers and researchers.

IFH partners with iHealth Labs, a digital health leader, to use AI and remote monitoring for personalized hypertension and diabetes management. Patients’ vital signs are tracked using iHealth’s devices, alongside personalized care and coaching, aiming for effective results.

IFH’s research introduces energy-efficient machine learning for on-device Photoplethysmogram (PPG) signal assessment. We conducted a comprehensive exploration of PPG signal morphology with the goal of pinpointing precise and lightweight features that can ensure dependable PPG readings. The findings offer potential for enhancing the reliability of wearable devices.

IFH’s study the coronavirus disease of 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic caused by the novel SARS-CoV-2 virus was present on the west coast of the United States in either late 2019 or early 2020.

IFH has had a significant contribution to COVID research using US CORDS. Our researchers studied the impact of COVID-19 on diverse populations resulting in multiple peer-reviewed publications.

IFH tools have enabled the execution of large scale center-wide trials in Southern California. ZotCare is used to remotely monitor more than one-thousand hypertensive patients in Southern California.

IFH team is proud to be closely working with HealthUnity in food-logging, world food atlas, and Personicle-related technology.

IFH -along with other partners such as CDC, FDA, Pfizer Inc, Johnson & Johnson, Kaiser Permanente, and HL7 International- has joined a new working group (WG 11) focused on “Personalized health navigation” under health informatics.

Three IFH members (Melissa Pinto, Jessica Borelli, and Amir M. Rahmani) are collaborating in this project with colleagues from the Survivor Corps organization, University of Indiana, Mayo Clinic, and the University of Miami.

Associate Professor Melissa Pinto talks to Los Al TV about research around people who continue to suffer symptoms long after their initial COVID-19 infection has passed, known as COVID long-haulers.

Ramesh Jain presented his research on the Personal Food Model and World Food Atlas as the Keynote Speaker in the “International Conference on Innovation & Sustainability” organized during February 5-6, 2021

A group of IFH members received the SSIHI Pilot Studies Award to address loneliness in college students using a navigational approach.

This research reveals that “Many Long Covid Patients Had No Symptoms From Their Initial Infection”.

The establishment of IFH was covered in Becker’s Health IT News.

The National Science Foundation has awarded Drs. Rahmani, Nyamathi, and Dutt, a planning grant to establish a model of digital community-centered care (D-CCC).

NIH has awarded the IFH Members (Lee, Rahmani, Gibbs, Shin, and Nyamathi) a $3.6 million R01 research project grant to implement a home-based, culturally and language-specific caregiving intervention for underserved dementia family caregivers.
