EM Informatics

The Emergency Medicine Informatics Research Lab at BIDMC is a translational informatics lab that specializes in the rapid translation of novel technologies into clinical practice.

We have custom built an Emergency Department Information System to serve as a live-clinical testbed that allows us to rapidly iterate the Plan-Do-Study-Act cycle. Our lab has particular expertise in machine learning, user interface design, clinical informatics, and research methodology.

Our research lab engages in:

• Innovative clinical application development
• Translation of state-of-the-art computer science into clinical practice
• Methodologically rigorous evaluation of Health IT interventions
• Post-doctoral fellowship training program

Our interests include:

• Application of machine learning to the clinical domain
• Clinical decision support
• Contextual information retrieval
• Human-computer interface
• Ubiquitous computing
