CITRIS and the Banatao Institute
Creating information technology solutions for society's most pressing challenges
This project will focus on recycling batteries that have been retired from plug-in electric vehicles as part of a smart energy storage system for single family homes. The system uses generated solar energy from the day and reduces a portion of the energy use at night by using the stored solar energy that resides in the battery.
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.
