About Us
We are a team of data scientists and engineers that leverage the power of ML and AI at Mount Sinai Hospital.
Our Vision
Data science, machine learning (ML) and artificial intelligence (AI) have the potential to transform the delivery of clinical care and improve patient outcomes. We have built a powerful real-time streaming clinical data platform that brings the power of ML and AI into the hospital. Our vision focuses on tackling the following three areas:
AI allows us to gain new insights and continuously improve over time as the platform learns from our patients and clinicians. Read on below to find out more how Mount Sinai is leading the way in applying this technology to transform healthcare.
