The project aims to develop and deploy telehealth kiosks tailored to the unique needs and challenges faced by homeless individuals, leveraging emerging technologies like generative AI and large language models to guide patients to appropriate care. The project seeks to improve access to healthcare services, provide educational content for chronic disease management, enhance health outcomes, and alleviate financial burdens on cities and communities. Through rigorous evaluation, the investigators will measure the impact of the telehealth kiosk services on healthcare utilization patterns, health outcomes, and overall well-being among homeless populations. The award period is from October 1, 2024, to September 30, 2025.
