Building an Ecosystem of Wellness Across University of Pittsburgh Campuses and Communities

Project Description

Due to rapidly growing mental health concerns, researchers have suggested creating wellness ecosystems on campuses. Aligned with the 2022-23 Pitt Year of Emotional Well-Being, our proposal aims to create a wellness ecosystem across our campuses and their neighboring communities. We will unite programs and technologies that encourage campus and community members to care for their emotional and physical health by providing personalized and flexible options that address the eight pillars of well-being. Our goal is to collaborate between Greensburg and Oakland and bring together all existing wellness resources through AI-based technology.
