Archer Lab · Field Guide
Digital health and social determinants of health innovation.
Archer Lab · Research Focus
Community partnerships, tech-enabled resilience, and ethical innovation—applied research that meets people where they live and work.
PARTNERSHIPS · DATA & AI
We build community-academic partnerships that use data, AI, and applied analytics to align research, lived experience, and institutional capacity around shared public goals. By translating data into actionable insights with and for communities, we support evidence-informed decision-making, co-designed interventions, and practical solutions that improve outcomes while addressing structural and system-level challenges.
RESILIENCE · SMART CITIES
Our researchers develop and implement technological solutions to help communities adapt and thrive in the face of environmental, economic, and social challenges. Initiatives include bridging the digital divide, strengthening local health infrastructure, and supporting sustainable development through smart city innovations.
POLICY · ELSI
We examine how new technologies, particularly in healthcare, can affect privacy, equity, and societal well-being. Our work involves creating policy guidelines, proposing ethical frameworks, and ensuring that innovations are both effective and responsible.
