The Center for Innovation is an Internal Service Organization led by Director, Nicholas J. Webb. The Center provides a wide range of resources to Faculty, Students, Alumni and Staff. Our mission is to drive the best innovations in Student Experience Design (SXD), Disruptive and Enterprise Innovation, while concurrently supporting all of our Innovators across the University. Through our partnerships across Industry, Education and Philanthropy our principal mission is to deliver exceptional value to all we serve. Services that we provide include the following:

"Our mission is to improve public health through prevention research, education, and clinical care." The department's clinical care and community-based initiatives aim to transform health care in San Diego through the practice of family medicine, preventive medicine, sports medicine, integrative medicine, and research that is practice-based. We have a robust portfolio of innovative clinical and public health focused research projects that address contemporary public health challenges through tools from biostatistics/bioinformatics, behavioral medicine, epidemiology, policy, and dissemination and implementation science. We have established Centers of Excellence in cardiovascular epidemiology, health behavior and equity, integrative health, tobacco control, wireless and population health, and women's health. Innovative, interdisciplinary partnerships are ongoing with Qualcomm Institute/Calit2, Moores Cancer Center, the Scripps Institute of Oceanography, Center for Microbiome Innovation, and many other departments.

"The National Institutes of Health today announced a new initiative aimed at speeding innovation, development and commercialization of COVID-19 testing technologies, a pivotal component needed to return to normal during this unprecedented global pandemic. With a $1.5 billion investment from federal stimulus funding, the newly launched Rapid Acceleration of Diagnostics (RADx) initiative will infuse funding into early innovative technologies to speed development of rapid and widely accessible COVID-19 testing. At the same time, NIH will seek opportunities to move more advanced diagnostic technologies swiftly through the development pipeline toward commercialization and broad availability. NIH will work closely with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (BARDA) to advance these goals."

"Learning Innovations Laboratory Bringing together the leaders of organizational learning to develop a greater understanding of the field's current challenges."

"We Design for Good Design thinking is in our genes. For decades, IDEO has pioneered the human-centered design approach to solving complex problems.  In 2010, IDEO asked-how might we open up our method, enabling people everywhere to spark innovation where it's needed most? Our answer: OpenIDEO."

March 11, 2021 6:00 PM MST Clinical Pearls + Innovative Treatment Dentist Dr. Tammarie Heit and Cardiologist Dr. Mimi Guarneri will explore sleep apnea from their respective fields. Areas of discussion include: sleep-disordered breathing and implications. A clinical diagnosis of sleep-disordered breathing in adults with clinical pearls. Innovative treatment options available from trained dentists and how they work. This hour-long discussion will allow for your questions through this interactive live broadcast. We hope you can join us!

"Pocket-size ultrasound devices that cost 50 times less than the machines in hospitals (and connect to your phone). Virtual reality that speeds healing in rehab. Artificial intelligence that's better than medical experts at spotting lung tumors. These are just some of the innovations now transforming medicine at a remarkable pace."

Recommended by Gina Soloperto. Dr. BJ Fogg founded the Behavior Design Lab at Stanford University, where he directs research and innovation. In addition, he teaches industry innovators how to use his models and methods in Behavior Design. The purpose of his research and teaching is to help millions of people improve their lives.

"The UC San Diego Center for Microbiome Innovation leverages the university's strengths in clinical medicine, bioengineering, computer science, the biological and physical sciences, data sciences and more to coordinate and accelerate microbiome research. We also develop methods for manipulating microbiomes for the benefit of human and environmental health."

"With approximately 133M Americans (more than 40% of the US population) suffering from one or more chronic diseases, the healthcare community is looking for more effective and efficient ways to manage chronic diseases. Part of that pursuit is in finding sustainable ways to help patients better understand their conditions and manage their health by empowering patients, connecting them to information, care, and therapies in ways they want. Join fellow innovators to work on a challenging, multi-faceted, meaningful opportunity to advance clinical care, quality of life, and outcomes for nearly half the US. How can we improve patient literacy and clinical understanding? How do we help patients feel more in-control of their medical care? What can be done to help patients understand when and where they should seek care? These are just some of the pain points begging for thoughtful, tech-enabled solutions."

"Creating Partnerships, Motivating Individuals, Facilitating Change The Centre for Collaboration, Motivation and Innovation (CCMI) helps individuals and organizations create partnerships that improve health and well-being. We do this by working collaboratively to inspire new ways of thinking about helping relationships, teach practical skills that foster partnerships, and implement strategies for system-wide change."

"Tom Andriola joined the University as its Vice President and System Chief Information Officer (CIO) in 2013. He provides leadership across the University working closely with campus and healthcare leaders to explore opportunities for technology and innovation to enhance the UC missions of teaching, research, patient care and public service."

UC San Diego School of Medicine has long been known as a place where discoveries are made. Today, we are known as a place where discoveries are delivered. UC San Diego School of Medicine, established in 1968, is the region's only medical school. As a top-tier academic medical center, our role is to improve health through innovative research, education and patient care.

"Atlas of Caregiving's mission is to catalyze a transformative change for family caregiving through innovative research, practical solutions, and rich collaboration. Atlas CareMaps help you better understand and strengthen your care ecosystem. LEARN MORE"

"Join us in our crowdsourced effort to analyze and predict potential COVID-19 cases by donating your wearables data. " This page describes study participation opportunities: Wearables Data Study, Molecular Profiling, and Global Relief Coalition

"Every patient has a story Medicine used to be a one-size fits all model. Disease X meant treatment Y. Doctors made decisions and patients listened.  Clinical trials were our only data source. But those days are over. Medicine has gotten personal.   Today, we know  that every patient has a unique medical story. The best care requires knowing those stories and the next generation of medical discovery requires compiling those stories into structured data sets.   That's why PicnicHealth works directly with patients to gather and manage complete, up-to-date medical records. That's also why with our PicnicAI platform, we go beyond serving patients directly, and partner with the most innovative Life Sciences companies to sponsor PicnicHealth accounts for groups of research volunteers. Only by putting patients in control of their own data will we move beyond fragmented, unstructured medical records for both individual patient benefit today and for the opportunity to meaningfully contribute to tomorrow's medicine."
