who we are

Distributed Health Labs is based at UCSD's Qualcomm Institute. We are a passionate, multidisciplinary team that is united in its determination to usher in a new age of technology-enabled global health. We are guided by the belief that by leveraging inexpensive sensors and digital connectivity, together we can change the global health equation – be it individual, community, or environmental health. Our mission is to create an open community of innovators and adopters to make that happen.

the OASIS project

To solve the problem, you must see the problem.

The goal of the Oasis project is to help make environmental and health problems visible. The Oasis project aims to reveal threats that are imperceptible to the human eye, like heavy metal contaminants in water or high blood pressure. Crowd-sourcing that data will empower communities to tackle widespread environmental and health challenges that require collective action to solve.

The Oasis project is an experiment in citizen science, an attempt to build a "living map" of shared knowledge built from individual contributions.

that's why we're building the

sensors

Check your vital signs.
And Earth's too.

A "tricorder for the globe", SENSE is a pocket-size device that takes environmental and health measurements.

The data you need,
at your fingertips.

The MyOasis mobile app lets you sync with SENSE, and then gives you actionalable, at-a-glance metrics you need to monitor your health and the health of your surroundings.

Together we can tell our story.

Secure data storage and analytics in the cloud, KEEP protects your privacy and helps you create powerful data visualizations.
