Who could benefit from this research
✓Could help
People living with HIV in the United States who receive care at participating clinics and are willing to engage with a mobile health monitoring system.
✕Less likely to help
Patients not using mobile health tools or not engaging with care may see limited benefit.
What this research studies
This project will collect multimodal data through a mobile health system called BEAM to understand why some people on HIV treatment experience virologic failure. It uses human-centered design and ethical AI practices to build safe, unbiased models that may predict risk and guide personalized interventions. A knowledge graph will help map how behaviors, environment, and adherence relate to treatment outcomes, with input from a Community Advisory Board of people living with HIV throughout the study.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, the project could enable earlier identification of at-risk patients and tailor interventions to prevent virologic failure.
How similar studies have gone: Previous AI-enabled interventions in HIV have shown promise but remain exploratory; this study builds on those insights with a larger, patient-centered approach.
