Biomedical Informatics Research

Russ College biomedical informatics researchers conduct state-of-the-art electrical engineering and computer science research in areas with high potential impact on health and wellbeing.

In the SmartHealth Lab, researchers push machine learning boundaries to aid in the management of type 1 diabetes. Other faculty, focused on machine vision, develop novel techniques to track the progression of dementia and diagnose diabetic retinopathy.

Faculty researchers in the Vital Lab build iPad apps to help patients manage migraine headaches. Finally, bioinformatics researchers seek to enhance the scientific understanding of life itself – they develop new software tools to assist life scientists with such tasks as discovering biomarkers of disease.

More information on these and other biomedical informatics projects is available on the individual lab or faculty web pages.
