OARC's Research Data and Web Platforms group has engaged in a collaboration with UCLA Professor Vivek Shetty on his NIH-funded Oral Health Recommender System (oHRS) project.

The group is developing the controller, database, and endpoints for the oHRS system, as well as the system’s end-to-end testing protocols. These features are critical to the oHRS tool, which utilizes generative artificial intelligence and a mobile application to provide personalized guidance for maintaining oral health between dental visits. The goal of the project is to facilitate the delivery of personalized, just-in-time behavioral nudges to encourage oral self-care.
