Duke (Durham, NC) and community leaders have created Durham Health Innovations, a project intended to treat chronic disease (diabetes, cancer and others) more efficiently by going into communities and connecting with more patients at locations such as barbershops. It’s labor intensive, but the study may find it’s worth the cost. Of interest to our community: “One new technology, geospatial mapping, could enable Duke to use county health department data to find where particular diseases are most common and then establish local programs to treat them.” I suspect new here means “new to this program.” A $1 million grants funds the first year and addresses 10 different illnesses.
