L.E.A.D. Fellowship Project
Oliver designed a Mobile Health Screening Unit (MHSU) — in his words, “a mobile health screening cart with digital records will bring affordable preventive checkups and follow-up care directly to rural residents, reducing missed visits and improving early detection of chronic diseases.” His study asks whether screening through the unit raises residents’ hypertension risk literacy, measured before and after.
Oliver is a UC Davis sophomore studying Medical & Molecular Microbiology. He came to this project with clinical exposure of his own: he previously completed MIAP Med, Eat The Elephant’s hospital immersion program, shadowing physicians at Wellstar and the Medical College of Georgia, and has also done genetics study at Cambridge and nanoscience research at UCLA.
“Residents who receive screening through the Mobile Health Screening Unit will demonstrate a statistically significant higher mean accuracy in hypertension risk-level awareness, compared to residents not receiving the MHSU screening.”
The protocol is complete, with a working budget of about $8,550, and the project is in its fundraising phase.
