Chadis
The mission of Total Child Health, Inc. is to provide products and services that improve mental and physical health. In particular, the company focuses on the development and distribution of a web-based platform called CHADIS (Comprehensive Health and Decision Information System). While TCH focuses on providing technology-based tools and services to clinicians, the Center has provided much of the research-based findings that constitute the backbone of the technology developed by TCH. TCH has been a recipient of thirteen NIH and CDC Small Business Innovation Research awards. Together with the Center, CHADIS has received more than $15 million in federal and Foundation grants for research and development of the current system. The true driver for the company’s success and the need for further development of its products and services are the desires of families using the system for the health of both children and adults.
