The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) awarded a $275,660 project grant (CFDA 93.837 - Cardiovascular Diseases Research) to Urban Design 4 Health Inc. to develop an automated spatial tool called the Pedestrian Public Health Assessment Model (PED-PHAM). The PED-PHAM uses artificial intelligence and computer vision techniques to detect and quantify pedestrian environment features, such as sidewalks, crosswalks, and lighting, from digital imagery. These features will be integrated into the existing National Pedestrian Health Assessment Model (N-PHAM) to better predict physical activity levels and body mass index outcomes related to walkability, greenspace, and other built environment factors. The goal is to provide an enhanced evidence-based tool that enables analysts and decision-makers to account for the health benefits of modifiable and cost-effective community design features.
