The Emory-Georgia Tech Predictive Health Institute is a new and innovative model of health care that focuses on maintaining health rather than treating disease. The Institute aims to change the future of health care by creating a model of health using new tools of bioscience to identify and measure risks and deviations from health, to develop common processes that promote health maintenance. Where there is a potential problem, predictive health aims to intervene at the very earliest indication, based on an individual's personal profile, and restore normal function.
One of the cross-cutting initiatives in Emory's new strategic plan, the Predictive Health Institute includes not only medicine, public health and nursing, but also anthropology, ethics, behavior, health policy, law, business and religion.
