Brief description of major research and scholarly activities:

  • The Universal Medical Monitor System (UMM) provides a single high-level language interface to medical monitors. Medical monitors are used extensively in health care systems. They are typically used in the operating room, emergency room, intensive care, as well as other parts of a hospital.
  • The Anesthesia Record Keeper (ARK) system takes all data relating to a case, and presents it to the anesthesiologist in the OR. Data includes patient demographics, schedule, and monitor data (heart rate, blood pressure, etc). Other sub-systems allow for queries of the stream data, looking for time-based events and correlation of stream events with other events (e.g., administration of a drug). The system is currently in use at Stony Brook Hospital.
  • The Emergency Department Error Detection System (EEDS) – a system intended to identify potential medical errors in the Emergency Department while it is still possible to avoid or correct them. The approach is to automatically collect clinical data and apply these data against a consistent set of clinical rules at the time of discharge.
  • The Water-Air Quality Sensing Project (WASP) employs water-based platforms to deploy sensors that provide real-time monitoring of water and air quality.
