Welcome to SDSU HealthLINK

group1
The SDSU HealthLINK Internal Advisory Committee represents various disciplines across campus

Funded by a 5-year $10 million endowment from the National Institute of Minority Health and Health Disparities, SDSU HealthLINK is a multi-college effort that is helping SDSU, and its auxiliary SDSU Research Foundation, build their infrastructure to support population health and health disparities research.

The mission of SDSU HealthLINK is to Leverage Infrastructure, Networks, and Knowledge to promote this research. We will accomplish this mission by

  1. supporting technological innovations in data collection and intervention delivery, including the use of big data and wireless sensors;
  2. supporting technology and programming personnel to develop the next generation of tools for population health and health disparities research; and
  3. investing in faculty, post-doctoral fellows, students, and community partners by training in this research using a team science approach – intersecting the disciplines of  health and human sciences, engineering, and computer sciences.

Who We Are
