Primary Health Care

Research_Breadcrumb-Banner

The Primary Health Care (PHC) area of excellence aims at producing impactful researches in the field of primary healthcare through the use of interdisciplinary approaches and cutting-edge technologies. The PHC members focus on identifying vulnerable, high-risk populations and those with potential and early signs of illness, promoting patient empowerment and self-management to maintain optimal health for chronic conditions, and encouraging healthy lifestyle (such as vaccination, exercise, and smoking cessation). With a diverse range of backgrounds, including nursing, public health, engineering, and collaborators from varied disciplines, the PHC members bring a unique perspective to managing health problems, utilizing AI and other advanced technologies to improve health and healthcare for people in the community setting.
