Currently, UNC investigators are conducting multiple domestic and international studies among a variety of disciplines including the behaviors of individuals with AHI, the role of clinical treatment for individuals living with AHI, and better algorithms and diagnostics for detection of AHI. The symposium was the first of several activities and collaboration meetings to be organized by the AHI Topical Work Group. For the full story: http://globalhealth.unc.edu/ahi-symposium.php
