The mission of the Johns Hopkins Individualized Health Initiative (Hopkins inHealth) is to promote research that will discover new ways to more precisely define, measure, and communicate each person’s unique health state and the trajectory along which it is changing; develop these discoveries into new methods that can be used in clinical practice to better inform patients and their clinicians, resulting in better decisions regarding medical care; and apply and disseminate knowledge gained from the delivery of individualized care to improve health care and health outcomes for whole populations.
The Institute for Clinical and Translational Research (ICTR) addresses obstacles in translating basic science discoveries into research in humans, translating clinical discoveries into the community and communicating experience from clinical practice back to researchers.
