Major Research Theme
|
Dr. Celi heads the research at the Laboratory of Computational Physiology at MIT. The laboratory hosts teams of clinicians (nurses, doctors, pharmacists) and scientists (database engineers, modelers, epidemiologists) who translate day-to-day questions typically asked during medical rounds that often have no clear answers in the current medical literature into study designs and then perform the modeling and the analysis. The studies fall into the following broad categories: identification and interrogation of practice variation, predictive modeling of clinical outcomes within patient subsets and comparative effectiveness research on diagnostic tests and therapeutic interventions. He also leads Sana (sana.mit.edu), hosted by the Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Lab also at MIT. Sana develops and maintains an open-source cellphone-based software that allows capture and transmission of any type of medical data (e.g. text, images such as photo and ECG, audio such as lung sounds, video such as ultrasound) through cellular networks to a back-end electronic medical record system. |
