Initiatives

Bruce has founded, built, and led multiple initiatives covering systems science, AI, mathematical and computer modeling, digital health, operations research, and science/health communications including research consortia, Centers at Universities, and companies. Here are some examples:

  • PHICOR

    Since 2007, our PHICOR (Public Health Informatics, Computational, and Operation Research) team has been developing and utilizing computational approaches, methods, models, and tools to help a wide range of decision makers address complex health and public health issues. This includes communicable and non-communicable diseases, various aspects of healthcare operations, and international development.

  • AIMINGS

    The AIMINGS (Artificial Intelligence, Modeling, and Informatics for Nutrition Guidance and Systems) Center is supported by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and serves as the Artificial Intelligence (AI) Center for the NIH’s Nutrition for Precision Health (NPH) Consortium. Precision nutrition is an emerging field that aims to provide tailored dietary and nutritional recommendations for individuals based on their different characteristics and circumstances in order to prevent and treat diseases and improve overall health and wellbeing.

  • SPACES

    Starting in 2015, SPACES (Strategic Program for Analyzing Complexity and Evaluating Systems) is a consortium supported by the US Global Development Lab at USAID. SPACES aims to bring systems approaches, methods and tools to international development.

  • GOPC

    The GOPC (Global Obesity Prevention Center) unites experts, stakeholders, and projects from around the world to develop and implement innovative, organized systems strategies to control obesity on a global level. The GOPC team served as a catalyst for convening experts, stakeholders and projects around the world. The GOPC brought together experts, stakeholders and projects in order to develop and implement innovative, organized, systems strategies to control obesity on a global level. In 2019, the GOPC team moved under the umbrella of PHICOR, a broader systems science research initiative.
