CITRIS and the Banatao Institute
Creating information technology solutions for society's most pressing challenges
CITRIS researchers have received a $2 million grant from the National Science Foundation to expand on a prototype system that uses a network of wireless sensors to track snowpack depth, water storage in soil, stream flow, and water use by vegetation in the Sierra — information that is key to efficient usage of this increasingly scarce resource.
Surgical robotics and health informatics are two key technologies that form the basis of a collaboration between the First Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University (FAH-SYSU) and CITRIS.
Research partners from Health Tequity, CITRIS Health, MITRE Corp., UC Davis and UC Merced worked with health care teams at Livingston Community Health, patients and community members to identify digital health barriers and co-create new ways to address them.
Working in partnership with senior living providers, Lighthouse researchers conducted focus groups with residents and staff to identify barriers to technology use.
