Overview
overview
Our lab focuses on how technologies can change the spaces and methods in which we deliver healthcare. The main foci center around the use of ingestible electronic systems to detect changes in disease through biometric monitoring and real-time medication adherence events, technologies that improve the collection and display of health information to providers and patients for collaborative care, population-level technologies to measure exposure to pharmaceuticals, bioweapons and disease, and investigations into the application of pharmacotherapy to modulate anxiety, pain and mental health. We work with a wide network of collaborators from the Koch Institute for Integrated Cancer Research at MIT, the Petrie Flom Center for Biotechnology, Bioethics and Health Law Policy at Harvard Law School, The Fenway Institute and Dana Farber Cancer Institute.

PMC Citations indicate the number of times the publication was cited by articles in PubMed Central, and the Altmetric score represents citations in news articles and social media. (Note that publications are often cited in additional ways that are not shown here.) Fields are based on how the National Library of Medicine (NLM) classifies the publication's journal and might not represent the specific topic of the publication. Translation tags are based on the publication type and the MeSH terms NLM assigns to the publication. Some publications (especially newer ones and publications not in PubMed) might not yet be assigned Field or Translation tags.) Click a Field or Translation tag to filter the publications.
