🌟JCHI is proud to support the MoM-Health project at UC San Diego through our P10000 initiative! This research uses innovative biological measures to tackle high blood pressure during and after pregnancy. As part of NIH's MOHD Consortium, we're uncovering critical links between hypertensive disorders and postpartum health. Participants use at-home blood pressure cuffs synced with EMRs to monitor risks. Together, we aim to predict cardiovascular disease and improve maternal health outcomes!

JCHI is excited to announce the launch of Willo, our groundbreaking mobile app focused on student wellness! We’ve co-developed this unique app in-house with UC San Diego students to enhance access to #mentalhealth support and promote proactive #wellness strategies on campus. Why this app is unique: Our smart integration of #AI delivers personalized, on-demand access to essential campus resources. Willo’s intuitive system aggregates students' unique interests and goals, customizing recommendations for services and apps tailored just for them. With features like health analytics and motivational incentives, we’re breaking down barriers to mental health support while encouraging active engagement and self-management. One of our missions at JCHI is to develop technology solutions with impact at scale. That's exactly what we've done with Willo. We launched this groundbreaking app last week to 40,000 students at UC San Diego as part of a pilot study, with plans to expand access to all students, and eventually to scale to other universities. Over 100 collaborators worked on this amazing technology project, led by JCHI's Nicole May, MHSA, PMP and Heidi Rataj. Big congrats to the whole team! Read more ⬇ https://lnkd.in/gEYvcyx8
