Health Care

Center for Remote Health Technologies and Systems

The mission of the Center for Remote Health Technologies and Systems (CRHTS) is to serve the state, nation and global community by addressing critical needs in health care and, in particular, in emergency and other situations where there is no doctor in close proximity but it is essential that timely care can be provided remotely. The center promotes fundamental research in medical devices and information systems that efficiently and reliably gather, process and convey medical and diagnostic data to physicians so they are able to provide care at a distance. The center performs fundamental research in both biomedical sensors and wireless systems to reliably and efficiently communicate information, and develops prototype systems that incorporate the results of the research and engages the medical device industry, state and federal agencies, and the medical community in design, development, testing and deployment of those systems.
