Overview
This PCORI-funded methods project develops reinforcement learning tools for interventional digital health systems. The work sits in PCORI’s Improving Methods for Comparative Effectiveness Research program (Cycle 1, 2025), under the programmatic priority areas Methods To Improve the Use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning and Methods To Improve Study Design.
The goal is to support reliable, patient-centered sequential decisions in digital health — when to intervene, for whom, and with what intensity — while keeping the underlying study design and evaluation statistically valid.
Project period through April 2029. PI: Zhenke Wu, University of Michigan. Award Number: ME-2025C1-44006
