Abstract

Led by Drs. Andrew Admon (Internal Medicine) and Christopher Gillies (Emergency Medicine), this team is using Machine Learning, a powerful data science tool, to build a real-time patient surveillance system. During times of unprecedented strain on healthcare personnel and clinical resources, this will help clinicians identify COVID-19 patients who need more intensive monitoring, closer nursing care, or urgent physician intervention.
