CITRIS and the Banatao Institute
Creating information technology solutions for society's most pressing challenges
eDNA (environmental DNA, which is shed by all organisms into their environment) can be isolated from water samples and analyzed to detect the presence of aquatic organisms. This project will develop and test a ruggedized water sample drone that can take off and land on the surface of running water under windy conditions with smart sensing strategies and then collect water samples to analyze and report.
This project was featured in the CITRIS Signal in 2014.
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.
