Health Research Collaborative
Research that helps people understand health information, make informed decisions, and connect with care.
Led by researchers at Texas A&M University–Corpus Christi, our collaboration brings together expertise in nursing, artificial intelligence, health communication, and clinical practice.
We address practical challenges faced by patients, families, and communities—from managing chronic conditions to finding trustworthy information and navigating local services.
Our Focus
Research in Action
Our funded project brings together researchers and a clinical collaborator to develop and evaluate an AI chatbot for patients and healthcare professionals. Potential future applications include support for community health workers.
