Smart, Healthy Communities Initiative
The Smart, Healthy Communities Initiative at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign creates environments to stimulate innovation in smart technology with the goals of making society safer, fostering better decision-making, and increasing wellness.
The initiative has three primary pathways to address these goals:
Software
Rokwire, the open source software platform for building mobile applications, is the foundation of our innovative strategy.
Test Beds
Technology developers and researchers are invited to test their technologies and ideas in test beds for exploring new smart health-related technologies in real-life laboratories. The first test bed is the Urbana-Champaign campus with an outreach to the municipalities of Champaign and Urbana. The program is developing test bed relationships with other universities and municipalities.
Research
Our research platform will unlock the power of integrated data and lead to new contributions to the health and well-being of communities. We are engaging with researchers to adapt their projects to Rokwire. We welcome the opportunity to collaborate on your proposals.
