Assessing Social Predictors of health using artificial Intelligence to Reform EMRs (ASPIRE)

The risk factors that drive health are unique to various patient populations and different patient populations use different language to communicate their health risk factors. The health risk factors and language that patients use also differs by locations. We are holding focus group sessions with family medicine physicians, senior patients, caregivers of senior patients, patients experiencing homelessness, and patients experiencing food insecurity to gain a deeper understanding of the major health risk factors they face and the words they use to describe them.
