Digital health researcher Y. Alicia Hong’s WECARE intervention will invigorate resilience in family caregivers of individuals with dementia

In the College of Public Health, researchers are embracing AI’s potential while also interrogating it, testing it, and redesigning it to work better for real people. Faculty are building AI tools to detect cancer earlier, support dementia patients, guide students through biostatistics, document evidence of violence, and flag burnout in caregivers—targeting some of public health’s toughest challenges.

George Mason professors win national award for their paper on assessing AI’s performance on health policy exams.

An interdisciplinary George Mason University research team is breaking new ground in using artificial intelligence to develop a mobile app to accurately capture and document bruises of victims of interpersonal violence.

Researchers Farrokh Alemi and Kevin Lybarger receive George Mason University’s first Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute (PCORI) award to develop innovative AI technology, including large language models, for improving antidepressant recommendations.

Professor John Cantiello reviews the literature to find out who is cheating, how, and how to head it off

The program offers tuition coverage and stipends to allow graduate students to advance their research
without worrying about funding their work through outside sources.

Professor Farrokh Alemi receives NIH grant to pilot first-of-its-kind, evidence-based artificial intelligence tool to address the medication needs of Black and African American people with depression. This is part of the college’s Innovate for Good story series. 

A new study led by Professor Jeah Jung found that Medicare Advantage (MA) plans do not equally improve the quality of care across all racial and ethnic groups. The study compared gaps in the quality of care received by non-Hispanic Black, Hispanic, and Asian enrollees versus non-Hispanic White enrollees in MA and traditional Medicare. 

Interprofessional research study from George Mason University found that family caregivers of older adults living with dementia experienced a 15% drop in stress after a 9-week online peer support program
