Health Innovation Technology Sandbox (HITS)

In collaboration with researchers in the School of Engineering at Brown University, the CDH is developing a health innovation technology sandbox (HITS). HITS will function as a deployable model for inclusive, digital health technology (DHT) prototyping and validation. HITS will bring together expertise in engineering, design, and health to promote DHT development and testing and to foster interdisciplinary collaborations.

Some of the major aims of HITS will be to:

  1. Establish a research and design methodology for improving the diagnostic accuracy of DHTs for everyone
  2. Develop strategies for technology co-design with strategic partners (e.g., technologists, clinical experts, implementation scientists, public-health experts, ethicists, regulatory and insurance-provider advisors)
  3. Create a program for DHT and data literacy
  4. Establish a DHT training module for trainees from different STEM areas

The initial technology focus areas will be:

  • Wearable optical and kinematic sensors
  • AI hardware accelerators
  • Computer vision technology

These are extremely important for emerging DHTs.

The sandbox will be physically located in the School of Engineering and will be ready to launch by the end of the summer.
If you are interested in contributing to or learning more about the sandbox, please do not hesitate to reach out at digitalhealth@brown.edu.
