About
I'm a PhD candidate in my fourth year of studies in the department of Computer and Information Science at the University of Pennsylvania. I work with my advisor, Professor Insup Lee, as a member of the PRECISE Center, specifically the Smart Alarm research group. In particular I'm interested in the using multi-source medical data and machine learning techniques to improve clinical care. In particular, I'm working on designing and implementing frameworks for the creation of smarter alarm systems and clinical decision support systems that will help doctors and nurses detect and prevent adverse medical effects, and operate safety and effectively in the hospital environment.
Research Projects
Decision Support System Development: In the modern hospital, patients are often connected to a multitude of medical devices, each of which records some data about the patient. Much of this data is currently inaccessible, or is underutilized. As part of our efforts to improve hospital care, I work with doctors and nurses to identify specific use-cases in which better access to clinical data provides a promising possibility of increased care. Once use-cases are identified, I work with clinicians to determine what data is currently being collected, how it is being stored, and how we can gather that data and apply straightforward machine learning techniques develop clinical decision support systems (CDSS), software systems that provide as tools for use in clinical care.
Generic Smart Alarm and Generic Clinical Decision Support Systems In working with clinicians to develop clinical decision support sytems, we have identified design methodologies and implementation commonalities that we see as being key to the development of robust CDSSs. The Generic Smart Alarm and Generic Clinical Decision Support Systems represent the establishment of reconfigurable pipelines and component libraries to facilitate the development of smart alarm and CDSSs , to allow them to be quickly customized and reused in creation of these systems.
