CITRIS and the Banatao Institute
Creating information technology solutions for society's most pressing challenges
Led by Alberto Cerpa of UC Merced and David Culler at UC Berkeley, this project will use the sMAP open source project (the Simple Measurement and Actuation Profile) to make data from the UC Merced campus available and usable to the research community. The buildings use sensors to gather data that can be used to general applications for temperature control and comfort based on individual occupancy monitoring and user feedback.

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 MITRE, CITRIS Health, UC Davis and UC Merced worked with health care teams 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.
