With Dimitris Bertsimas and two of our students (Dr. TAIYAO) we develop methods for "prescriptive" analytics and apply them to the key problem of reducing hospital readmissions following surgery (bit.ly/3iaijiS). If adopted, we estimate >$20M in annual savings in the US.

Being involved in this project under the supervision of Yannis Paschalidis,I got the chance to work with the amazing people at Boston University aiming to leverage AI techniques in diagnosing cognitive decline based on digital biomarkers.



”This will change medicine. It will change research. It will change bioengineering. It will change everything“. DeepMind’s #AI #AlphaFold appears to have made a gigantic leap in solving one of biology’s greatest challenges - predicting #protein structures nature.com/articles/d4158…

Draw the face of an analog clock, tell us age, and education, and we can assess dementia with 92% AUC.

Could a Computer Diagnose Alzheimer’s Disease and Dementia? Listening to you? Read tinyurl.com/4wxaux2d and our paper tinyurl.com/4daet4uv in Alzheimer's & Dementia Journals A great collaboration with Rhoda Au Framingham Heart Study Kolachalama laboratory Hariri Institute for Computing, Boston University BU Center for Information & Systems Engineering BU Engineering Boston University

Can #MachineLearning slow cognitive decline? HIC researchers from BU Engineering Boston U Chobanian & Avedisian School of Medicine, including Yannis Paschalidis Kolachalama laboratory, developed a model that detects cognitive impairment from voice recordings of neuropsychological exams. spr.ly/6012zofpm #HICYeah


I'm very thrilled to announce that our paper tinyurl.com/2p8tanyh "Automated detection of mild cognitive impairment and dementia from voice recordings: A natural language processing approach" has been published in Alzheimer's & Dementia Journals.

It takes a lot of time—and money—to diagnose #AlzheimersDisease. But researchers at Boston University have developed a new tool that could automate the process and, eventually, allow it to move online.
