CHMI plays a central role in technology development from the basic level of applied research through to scale and commercialization. Our core research and healthcare innovation activities include:

 

Data and Research Partnership Platform

CHMI is developing the legal and technical data access infrastructure to allow researchers to quickly access novel, high value, and multimodal healthcare data.

 

Open Innovation Platform

CHMI is partnering with payers and providers to better identify the real-world problems they face and the future of health care they see and, importantly, will buy into. The goal is to align talent and novel technologies at Berkeley with the realities of the healthcare marketplace for AI and digital solutions.

 

Behavioral Economics and AI Research

CHMI is a hub at UC Berkeley linking the deep understanding of incentives in economics, behavioral economics in particular, with new and powerful AI technologies allowing unprecedented prediction and insight.

CHMI supports the broader applied innovation ecosystem with academic and industry fellows who bring keen insights into key problems and opportunities in healthcare. The center hosts conferences that bring together the top academics in health policy, economics, AI, computer science, biostatistics, and other disciplines to share research and methods.
