BIDMC @ Home

Seth Berkowitz lead a multidisciplinary effort to build and deploy BIDMC@home, a revolutionary mobile application that engages patients in their own health care and extends the continuity of care beyond the bounds of the hospital and physicians' office. See details here.

InfoSAGE

Yuri Quintana leads the InfoSAGE platform, Information Sharing Across Generations, (https://www.infosagehealth.org)  is a federally funded research project that aims to study the information needs of elders and their adult children who are involved in their care by building a “living laboratory”. InfoSAGE  allows us to study real-life situations of elders and the challenges that families face in communicating, coordinating, and collaborating with complex and costly care environments.

Leveraging electronic health records and medical claims to repurpose drugs to treat Alzheimer’s Disease, cancer and Covid-19

In a project led by MIT professors Roy Welsch and Stan Finkelstein, researchers will use statistics, machine learning, and simulated clinical drug trials to find and test already-approved drugs as potential therapeutics against Covid-19. Researchers will sift through millions of electronic health records and medical claims for signals indicating that drugs used to fight chronic conditions like hypertension, diabetes, and gastric influx might also work against Covid-19 and other diseases.
