Current Projects

· Advanced Documentation of Clinical Encounters and Context-Aware Presentation for Next Generation Electronic Medical Record System

In this project we are developing an innovative approach to the documentation of patient encounters and an advanced system for the synthesized presentation of clinical information relevant to diagnosis and treatment of the patient.

· Computer-Aided Diagnosis System for Fast, Accurate and Remote Evaluation of Acute Chest Pain

This study aims to develop a computer-aided diagnosis system which allows radiologists to remotely access and analyze cardiac MDCT of acute chest pain patients in emergency departments. This system will solve the problem of transferring large volume of imaging data over the Internet. It will also facilitate remote monitoring and clinical decision support to rule out the presence of significant coronary artery disease. Once fully developed, this system will help reduce the crowding in emergency departments, increase the accuracy and efficiency of the diagnostic process, and improve the quality of care. 

· Evidence-Based Utilization Management of New York State Medicaid Program

This project focuses on developing an evidence-based decision support system to be used in monitoring and optimizing utilization of Medicaid services and facilitating quality assurance measures. The objective of this project is to establish beneficiary-specific thresholds for utilization based on individual health status and proven diagnosis and treatment guidelines.

· Computer Games and Virtual Reality Environment for Rehabilitation

The goal of this project is to develop innovative computer games and virtual reality environments for physical rehabilitations (e.g., balance training, fall prevention, strength training, gait training, etc.) and portable tele-rehabilitation systems for both physical and cognitive rehabilitations.
