AI-Based Personalized Health and Self-Care

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if the DAPHNE chatbot can improve caregiver engagement, usability, and integration of social care support tools into clinical workflows in caregivers of pediatric patients receiving care at the Nationwide Children's Hospital Primary Care Center (NCH PCC). This is a pilot randomized clinical trial. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Is the DAPHNE chatbot usable, acceptable, and minimally burdensome for caregivers over a 6-month period? * Can the DAPHNE chatbot be effectively integrated into primary care provider workflows? Researchers will compare the DAPHNE chatbot intervention arm to the standard of care control arm to see if the intervention improves caregiver-reported outcomes and provider workflow integration. Participants that are patients will be randomly assigned to either the DAPHNE chatbot group or the standard of care group. Complete surveys assessing usability, acceptability, and burden and participate in brief qualitative interviews to share feedback on their experience. Participants that are Primary Care providers will discuss integration of DAPHNE into clinical workflows and complete workflow integration assessments.

Community Pharmacies as Social Determinant of Health Navigators

Type 1 hybrid effectiveness-implementation study using a quasi-experimental, difference-in-difference (DID) design to deliver a comprehensive social needs screening and navigation program by integrating Community Health Workers (CHWs) into community pharmacies across under-resourced areas in Western New York (WNY).

Addressing Unmet Social Needs Among Hospitalized Children

The purpose of this pilot study is to determine the feasibility and acceptability of implementing a social needs screening and intervention protocol in the pediatric inpatient setting by conducting a pilot trial on a pediatric ward. The investigators' hypothesis is that it will be feasible and acceptable to implement a social needs screening and intervention protocol. The investigators will work with pediatric word healthcare team members to develop a social needs screening and intervention protocol. They will then compare preliminary health and social outcome measures between children hospitalized during the pre-intervention period (control group) vs. the post-intervention period (intervention group).
