Transforming Chronic Disease Care
Through evidence, empathy, and equity.
About us
The Interdisciplinary Chronic Disease Collaboration (ICDC) brings together researchers committed to improving the lives of people living with chronic conditions such as high blood pressure, diabetes, heart disease, and kidney disease.
Through collaborative, evidence-driven research, we design and deliver innovative solutions that strengthen care and improve health outcomes.
Chronic diseases are the leading cause of death and disability worldwide, shaping how people live, access care, and manage their health every day. We recognize the complexity of living with one or more chronic conditions and are focused on reducing that burden so people can live healthier, fuller lives.
We also know that care is not one-size-fits-all. Where you live, what you earn, and the opportunities available to you all influence your health. That’s why advancing equity is central to everything we do.
Our work is guided by five core pillars:
- Data science, access, and methods
- Patient and community engagement
- Implementation science and knowledge mobilization
- Pragmatic clinical and health policy trials
- Training, mentorship, and capacity building
We are committed to advancing health equity for all. By working across disciplines and alongside patients, clinicians, and communities, we turn research into action, creating meaningful, lasting change for people living with chronic disease.
