Technology-Inspired Health Innovation at Illinois
Shape the future of health innovation and education at Illinois
The Health Innovation Visioning Committee has been charged by Chancellor Jones to consider a new technology-inspired academic health research and education model that makes a significant, visible, and sustained impact on human health. We have been asked to think comprehensively, broadly, and boldly how such a model can uniquely position Illinois as a national and global leader in health innovation that improve the human condition and impact humanity.
Town Hall Recordings:

Building on the Interdisciplinary Health Sciences Institute’s growth and successes and the work of the Health Sciences Strategy Task Force from 2018, this Visioning Committee will set the foundation to elevate health sciences and education, as well as technology and social innovation here at Illinois.
The committee has worked to gather broad input from the campus community through various discussions, Town Hall meetings, and an online input form. This input will be incorporated into a white paper report to the Chancellor in January 2023.
