Project HealthDesign:
Rethinking the Power and Potential of Personal Health Records:
is
a $3.5-million RWJF national program designed to stimulate innovation in the
development of personal health record systems by:
- supporting design and prototyping efforts that focus on
the needs, preferences, and living environments of individuals; and
- promoting a systems approach to personal
health records, in which an unlimited array of personal health
applications can be built on top of a common platform of core data
elements and technical utilities.
RWJF is pleased to collaborate with the California
HealthCare Foundation, which provided $600,000 in additional funding for Project HealthDesign.
Project HealthDesign will award 18-month grants of up to $300,000 each to
8-10 grantees, who will:
- work closely with individuals and families to develop
designs and prototypes for specific personal health applications that can
be built upon a common platform; and
- engage in a collaborative process
with other grantees to identify requirements for a common platform that
can support the personal health applications they are designing.
The application deadline was September 19,
2006 at 2:00 PM EDT and has passed. Projects are slated to begin December 1, 2006.
