We also bring in public-private partnerships (working with both government and companies) to help fund and guide our work.
The Rutgers Center for BMIHAI will be a place where:
By combining P4 Medicine, Learning Health Systems, and LivingLabs, we aim to transform both science and healthcare – starting in New Jersey, but with impacts that reach far beyond.
At Rutgers, we'll create 3–5 LivingLabs. LivingLabs are special programs that bring together people and technology to solve big health problems.
This idea has already worked in other places, like:
LivingLabs usually combine physical labs (where engineers build tools and devices) and virtual labs (data and simulations). They also rely on shared evaluation systems, funding partnerships, and teamwork across many fields.
