GLOBAL HEART EQUITY INSTITUTE
Global Heart Equity Institute (GHEI) is a research and education institute dedicated to improving cardiovascular health equity in low-resource settings through mobile technology, rigorous science, and accessible health literacy.
Focusing on early detection and prevention of cardiovascular disease in communities that are historically underserved.
Leveraging smartphone-based photoplethysmography (PPG) and AI modeling to build low-cost, scalable screening tools.
Translating complex cardiology into accessible content, including short-form media designed for low health literacy environments.
Equity-driven cardiovascular screening, mobile PPG research, and global health literacy.
Primarily low- and middle-income settings, with a focus on regions where digital health tools are emerging but still inequitable.
Through collaboration with clinicians, researchers, and communities, and by sharing data, methods, and educational resources openly.
