Collective intelligence for curbside consultation

Our NIH NIMHD-funded Phase I STTR project develops and evaluates asynchronous peer consultation for rural clinicians. The research examines rapid skill assessment, selection of relevant reviewers, and aggregation of independent judgments, alongside feasibility and workflow fit. Clinical effectiveness remains to be established.

Overview

Our NIH NIMHD-funded Phase I STTR project develops and evaluates asynchronous peer consultation for rural clinicians. CollectiveGood is the prime awardee; UNC-Chapel Hill is the subawardee, with Sean Sylvia as subaward PI.

What we are studying

  • Rapid skill assessment for selecting relevant peer reviewers
  • Aggregation of independent clinical judgments
  • Feasibility and workflow fit of asynchronous peer consultation for rural clinicians

Status

Phase I, newly awarded. Clinical effectiveness remains to be established. We do not claim diagnostic superiority, completed clinical validation, or a broadly available clinical service.

This research is one of the lab’s collaborations with CollectiveGood, a separate company co-founded by Sean Sylvia.
