THE CENTER FOR FUTURE HEALTH CREATES AND VALIDATES PERSONAL HEALTH TECHNOLOGY FOR PROACTIVE HEALTH SYSTEMS.

The Center for Future Health (CFH) was founded in 1998 to give patients, caregivers, and physicians better health status information through personal health technology. We are working towards a proactive health system that supports the personal health care needs of all.

What is a Proactive Health System?

• A system designed for early detection, personal care, and caregiver support rather than crisis management.
• A system that summarizes personal health information for individuals and caregivers to promote better health decisions.
• A system that supports the health care activities of all individuals and their caregivers.
• A system that individuals can access at home, in community centers, and when visiting their medical provider.

In summary, a Proactive Health System puts health care technologies into everyday lives, and off loads formal institutions when appropriate. It is a system of sensors and information technology that alerts individuals when their health status trends away from normal, and helps them return to health.
