The Jump Applied Research for Community Health through Engineering and Simulation (Jump ARCHES) program is a strategic partnership with the University of Illinois Grainger Health Care Engineering Systems Center (HCESC) that partners teams of clinicians and engineers working together to improve patient outcomes and reduce health care costs.
Jump ARCHES is a part of the Innovation Academic Incubator. Learn more and sign up to become a member today.
Current Jump ARCHES Projects
Project Highlight
Incentivizing healthy behaviors using phone app on a blockchain platform
Those applying for grants are developing new tools, techniques and devices to enhance medical simulation and education as well as for clinical use and treatment. This endowed fund supports collaborative efforts between engineers and health care providers at OSF HealthCare and University of Illinois College of Medicine at Peoria as they work to solve health care challenges through innovative solutions.
These teams work together and use the unique environment of Jump to hypothesize, test and redesign tools, techniques and processes being used by caregivers every day.
Spring 2022 RFP Grant Round
Eleven research projects are sharing more than $770,000 in funding through the Jump ARCHES research and development program. This fall round of funding was for ideas to address the challenges health care faces in post-COVID 19 recovery, precision medicine, health literacy, quality of patient interactions, supporting treatment of neurological disorders and topics related to social and behavioral sciences, neurological sciences and autism spectrum disorders.
