This $2 million Cooperative Agreement from the Department of Health and Human Services Office of the Secretary Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology will support the development of equity-enhancing patient-generated health data technologies. Awarded under the Leading Edge Acceleration Projects program, the funding will be administered by Medstar Health Research Institute Inc.

Over the five-year period from September 2022 to September 2027, the awardee will create an "Equity Engine" as an open-source solution for capturing and integrating patient-reported outcomes and patient-generated health metrics from the point of care to researchers. Specific activities include performing an environmental scan of existing standards; developing the Equity Engine technology to collect and share patient data for clinical care and research use cases; conducting demonstrations of the solution in two separate healthcare locations; and evaluating operational utility to document lessons learned and recommendations. The results are intended to advance the scalable use of patient-generated health data to improve equity in research and clinical care.
