MITRE and the University of Virginia (UVA) are working in partnership to improve medical outcomes. We apply innovative electronic systems engineering, decision support data analytics, mobile cyber security, acquisition operations, and clinical expertise to inform smart and connected healthcare.

UVA Health is located at One Hospital Drive in Charlottesville VA on the university grounds. The partnership with the UVA School of Medicine Public Health Sciences benefits from diverse and inclusive academic community, focused on collaborative studies of:

Mobile Digital Health

By devising and testing mobile sensors and remote health technology, including telehealth systems, to measure and improve patient outcomes and clinician experience.

Shared Analytics Exchange Commons

By developing and applying advanced analytic models to address the challenges of health information. We explore unique techniques for learning and sharing analytic insights across boundaries without compromising privacy or security. We do this by promoting standards of metadata needed for analytic exchange networks to share data models and medical analytics without moving sensitive data to ensure interoperability between health information systems.

Clinical Collaboration

By bringing together clinicians from UVA, MITRE sponsors, and other organizations with MITRE engineers and scientists to identify and solve complex, critical problems

These capability pipelines merge and connect data streams with analytic information and clinical knowledge, leading to greater insight into care delivery, as well as improved quality and safety for patients and providers.

Our shared commitment to public service enables us to overcome the barriers that inhibit the technology and data management innovation we need to improve medical care operations.

Mission Focus and Impact

The partnership continues to garner sponsor support and have impact across both the national security and public service sectors. In collaboration with UVA and other academic and industry participants, MITRE engages military, veteran, civilian health, and other sponsors to leverage engineering approaches for learning metrics and measures, digital health and remote monitoring, medical cyber, and shared analytic exchange commons standards and services. This activity focuses on reference platforms for both sensitive and non-sensitive experimentation, as well as standards studies spanning regulatory registries, clinical trials, wearables, garrison and expeditionary spaces, and clinical hospital and telehealth care needs. Notable collaboration between MITRE and UVA includes:

Notable collaboration between MITRE and UVA Includes:

Partnering to scale, document, measure, and share telehealth services to vulnerable populations in response to the COVID-19 pandemic as well as provide joint affirming privacy preserving mobile wearable wisdom and wellbeing platform (WWP) resiliency tools to address occupational and patient stress injury awareness and mitigation using digital health emerging medical technologies
Transitioning novel dual use solutions for remote sensing, distributed surveillance, early detection, resource allocation, and resiliency planning to help address the multidimensional challenges that the COVID-19 pandemic poses.
Pivoting high assurance artificial intelligence approaches used to solve data and analytic challenges for national security to tackle the pandemic while focusing on meeting essential digital health equity needs especially for underrepresented & vulnerable populations.
Leading standards development with the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society, resulting in the IEEE P2795 standard for sharing analytics supported by MITRE’s smart connected analytic learning exchange (SCALE) edge computing laboratory capabilities.
Improving expeditionary health technology readiness through field exercises and mobile medical experimentation, that enables emergency and disaster response by autonomous digital health connectivity innovations.
Hosting a joint medical scholars intern program, joint research professor appointments, and faculty fellow rotation between UVA Health and MITRE supporting federally funded research and development center (FFRDC) sponsor missions and grant programs.
