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.
