The University of Pittsburgh Medical Center is set to fund six projects created under the Pittsburgh Health Data Alliance, which is committed to developing data-based innovations.
The funding will total more than $3 million over six months for the creation of the health technologies, according to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.
Some of the projects include a smartphone app to help patients update medication lists, an automated system to let pharmacists examine drug reactions in nursing home patients to prevent falls and a wearable device and bed sensor system that monitors patient positioning in relation to bed sores.
