The UCI Institute for Precision Health (IPH) is an endeavor that combines our health sciences, engineering, statistics, machine learning, artificial intelligence, clinical genomics, data science, public health, and healthcare delivery system capabilities to provide personalized and effective health and wellness strategies. Driven by computer algorithms, statistical theory and predictive modeling, precision health uses advanced data analysis to make patient-controlled, personalized treatment and lifelong health maintenance plans possible. In doing so, IPH will confront the linked challenges of health equity and the high cost of care.
While the vision for IPH has long been in the works, the pandemic expedited a soft launch, showing how rapidly critical medical needs could be met. In 2020, UCI researchers, healthcare providers, and data scientists joined forces to create the COVID Vulnerability Index, a data-centric method of assessing the risk for COVID-19 patients and using that information to make treatment decisions.
IPH aims to change the healthcare landscape, focusing on the individual patient to empirically identify the most effective health and wellness strategies at a personal level. IPH will assess if the cost of treatments are validated by their utility, and open doors for breakthroughs in diseases where no current treatments change the course of the disease, such as Alzheimer's, Huntington's and Parkinson's. The institute's success will be measured by improvements in individual and community health.

Under the supervision of the IPH Director and CAO, the incumbent is responsible for providing support for and coordinating all administrative and operational aspects of health data access and sharing for the University. Incumbent is responsible for supporting all aspects of health data access requests from initiation through completion of projects involving health data. Incumbent will provide support to investigators or faculty sponsors for processes involving the development, feasibility assessment, and access of health data projects and will ensure institutional protocols governing health data use, access, management, and sharing are followed, and that appropriate documentation is kept. The incumbent will apply extensive knowledge of clinical research protocols and processes to design research projects of large scope and high degrees of complexity and oversee them from design to completion to aid in the projects’ success.
