RESCU-ER

This project works towards reducing rural-urban disparity in pediatric mortality from life-threatening emergencies. We have conducted an in-depth investigation on the epidemiology of rural child outcomes and developed an app that consists of a cognitive aid intervention for pediatric cardiac arrest and infant resuscitation. Our experienced team aims to identify modifiable factors and enhance EMS performance to improve survival and outcomes for rural children.

Machine Learning for Detecting Adverse Safety Events

Our team has designed and continues to develop an ontology-driven NLP tool to identify adverse safety events from children EMS text charts patient. Future work aims to demonstrate the scalability of this automated screening system on additional datasets to understand and describe the incidence of and contributors to preventable safety events.
