Catalyzing Community Connection Quality of Life and Population Health Tracker

This Mitacs project will create a custom-built survey tool and a recommendation system that generates alerts where an individual’s unmet physical, mental, social or spiritual needs are detected. A personal report with feedback on possible steps to reduce unmet needs or make progress on achieving goals that are aligned with personal preferences and interests is generated. Informed by the results, feedback, and recommendations generated through this system, participants then work with trained program staff to set goals related to their health and quality of life, navigate resources, match what the person wants to best available and best fit resources in the community, and keep track of challenges and progress. It will also produce a report card for agencies with feedback on how their community members are doing to identify emerging problem areas and highlight opportunities for the deployment of action to respond to unmet individual and community needs.
