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 healthcare 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 and to restore faulty processes to healthy ones before diseases occur.

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.
