My name is Nitya Patil, and over the past two months, I've had the pleasure of collaborating with the incredible team at TraumaCare.AI, leveraging artificial intelligence research to tackle one of trauma care's critical challenges: ICU readmissions.
ICU readmissions are costly and can reflect challenges during care transitions. TraumaCare.AI is studying how longitudinal clinical data may support responsible evaluation of readmission risk.
My role involved conducting reviews and analyses of machine learning approaches that use clinical indicators such as vital signs, lab results, and severity markers. This research helps establish a foundation for developing and evaluating predictive models at TraumaCare.AI; prospective work would be required to determine their effect on clinical decisions or patient transfers.
Throughout this experience, I've learned about the fast-paced world of start-ups, how they function, and the incredible teams that are behind them. This has been an amazing experience!
This fall, Nitya Patil will begin her junior year at Georgia Tech, majoring in Industrial and Systems Engineering with a minor in Financial Technology. As our Data & Research Analyst Intern this summer, she made valuable contributions, and we wish her every success in the future.
