WID researchers are working to improve human health, including through initiatives targeting the health care system, from operating rooms and clinics to home health care and personal health information management. By approaching health care from expertise in data sciences, visualization, virtual reality, and other WID research strengths, WID can promote “healthy people” initiatives.
Many health care researchers at WID are a part of WID’s Data Science Hub.
