Machine learning for ICU nutrition, rare respiratory disease phenotyping, and privacy-preserving clinical data collaboration.

Headline result: Clinical prediction and privacy-preserving collaboration

Critical care patients are among the most vulnerable — yet managing their nutrition, predicting complications, and coordinating care remains largely manual. We build machine learning systems that turn ICU data into actionable clinical decisions, improving patient outcomes through real-time prediction.

Research Areas

  • ICU Nutrition & Feeding Complications — Models trained on a decade of records from Rabin Medical Center that predict feeding intolerance and caloric deficit before symptoms appear, optimizing enteral nutrition per patient.
  • Rare Respiratory Disease Phenotyping — Unsupervised clustering and AI phenotypical analysis for NTM lung infections, accelerating diagnosis and predicting treatment response in pulmonology.
  • Privacy-Preserving Medical Data Collaboration — Federated learning and crowdsourcing frameworks enabling multi-hospital research without exposing patient records.

Technical Methods

Our pipeline combines gradient-boosted trees and deep learning for tabular clinical data, time-series models for continuous monitoring streams, and survival analysis for time-to-event outcomes. All models are validated prospectively against held-out hospital cohorts before clinical reporting.
