JupyterHealth: Transforming Digital Health Ecosystems

Monday, March 23, 2026 – 1:00 pm CT

About the Webinar:

JupyterHealth is an open platform extending the Jupyter ecosystem into healthcare by integrating patient-generated data, clinical workflows, and computational research in an interoperable, standards-aligned architecture. JupyterHealth is fully modular, with primary components focusing on (1) real-time data acquisition from wearables and apps, standardized through Open mHealth, IEEE 1752.1, and HL7 FHIR, (2) storage and authentication, secure and consistent with institutional access protocols, (3) management and analysis, using Jupyter Hub and composable Notebooks, and (4) clinical workflow integration, leveraging ubiquitous SMART on FHIR APIs for EHR integration. We’ll provide an overview of the platform along with descriptions and demos of current implementations including pipelines for continuous glucose (Dexcom), contactless blood pressure (CareX), and physiological and behavioral data (Oura), alongside preliminary EHR integration. With reusable APIs, consent-aware enrollment, identity-aware access controls, and composable, notebook-driven tooling, JupyterHealth provides a reproducible, extensible, and intelligent foundation for translating research into care.

About the Presenters:

Ida Sim, MD, PhD is Professor of Medicine (UCSF) and Computational Precision Health (UCSF and UC Berkeley), Co-Director of the UCSF UC Berkeley Joint Program in Computational Precision Health, and a primary care physician. Dr. Sim’s research focuses on cyberinfrastructures and policies for large-scale data sharing of health data. She is co-lead of JupyterHealth, an open platform for digital health and AI; co-founder of Open mHealth, a nonprofit organization defining an IEEE global open standard for patient-generated health data interoperability; and co-founder of Vivli, the world's largest data sharing platform for participant-level clinical trial data. Dr. Sim is a member of the National Academy of Medicine and the American Society for Clinical Investigation, a Fellow of the American College of Medical Informatics, and a recipient of the United States Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers (PECASE). More about Ida Sim.

JP Pollak, PhD is co-founder and Chief Architect of The Commons Project, Assistant Professor at Weill Cornell Medicine, and Senior Researcher in Residence at Cornell Tech. JP builds tools and conducts research to help individuals collect and make use of their health data. He is one of the creators of CommonHealth, the Android app for collecting, storing, and sharing health records. He is co-lead of JupyterHealth, the open project to empower seamless integration of clinical and patient generated data for research and care. JP co-led VCI, which developed SMART Health Cards used by 500M+ people around the world to share verifiable health information for COVID and beyond. His research focuses on the user side of the collection and utilization of real world data in clinical research and care, and the tools resulting from his work, such as PAM and ResearchStack, have been used by hundreds of thousands of participants in clinical and behavioral research studies. He earned a Master’s in Human-Computer Interaction and a PhD in Information Science at Cornell University. More about JP Pollak.
