The fellowship is part of the Future of Health Fellows program, an initiative of the Yale School of Public Health’s (YSPH) Future of Health Innovation Hub.

The fellowship is part of Surgo Health’s mission to explain and predict human behavior through foundational data and artificial intelligence (AI).
