The mission of the Center for Health Technology & Innovation is to leverage mobile and wearable technologies to empower patients and clinicians, enhance quality of care, increase value, and achieve equity in the diagnosis and management of heart diseases and stroke.
Current Research Projects
In-Home Diagnostic Triage via Smartphone Video Virtual Check-In for Potential Stroke Symptoms During the COVID-19 Pandemic — A Novel Approach to Improving Cardiovascular Health Equity and Long-Term Cardiovascular Prevention.
A novel smartphone software application to accurately and reliably quantify the “H.I.N.T.S.” exam to aid in correct diagnosis of posterior fossa (brainstem or cerebellar) stroke vs. vestibular neuritis (labyrinthitis) in acute dizziness/vertigo in diverse populations.
A virtual cardiovascular rehabilitation program for secondary pan-vascular prevention in patients of diverse socioeconomic backgrounds with stroke, acute myocardial infarction, and other cardiovascular conditions.
Accomplishments
Our research team has developed numerous technological innovations and advancements in the field of cardiovascular care including:
- Developed a friendly and intuitive technology platform that empowers patients with cardiovascular diease to take a more active role in their care
- Development of a loaner program for smart phones and smart watches to close the digital divide and promote health equity
- Johns Hopkins installed smart TVs in the cardiology units to enhance patient and family education
- Deployed an app to improve patient self-management in guideline-based care to heart attack patients hospitalized at 4 hospitals across 3 states in the MiCORE study
- Development of “Stroke Goggles” to improve the diagnosis and care of stroke and recovery
