Center for Healthcare Innovation (CHI)
The university-wide Center for Healthcare Innovation (CHI) supports Stevens faculty- and student-initiated research and educational programs that address gaps and issues related to advancing biomedical technology and healthcare delivery, and also serves as a focal point for integration of external strategic partnerships.
The Center for Healthcare Innovation (CHI) was established as part of the Stevens 10-year strategic plan as a university-wide educational and research coordinating center to guide and augment the university’s impact in healthcare. It serves as a resource for over 60-affiliated faculty employing multidisciplinary approaches to advance medical technology and improve healthcare delivery through education, research, partnerships and commercialization. Internal research within the CHI is focused on drug discovery and tissue engineering.
Mission
Among its diverse activities, the CHI aims to:
- Identify and fill educational gaps by developing new degree programs
- Coordinate faculty hiring around the strategic foundational pillar
- Sponsor new student centric research initiatives
- Develop external partnerships
- Develop new R&D resources through grants, contracts and philanthropy.
Additional activities of the CHI involve the coordination of multi-investigator grant and contract proposals, and the commercialization of intellectual property.
Research
Major areas of research managed by the CHI include tissue engineering of cancer biopsies for drug assessment and therapy selection; biomaterials that promote cell growth and control infection in implanted prosthetic and medical devices; drug discovery and development initiatives; mobile healthcare and telemedicine applications; and data analytics and modeling of healthcare delivery systems.
