My program of research has focuses in four primary areas: (1) using continuous ECG monitoring to improve the detection of myocardial ischemia in patients with acute coronary syndrome (i.e., heart attack); (2) identifying the source of false ECG alarms that contribute to alarm fatigue; (3) designing algorithm based solutions to improve arrhythmia and respiratory rate detection; and (4) educational interventions aimed at reducing hospital re-admission and/or mortality in individuals diagnosed with heart failure. The overarching goal of my program of research is to identify challenges and opportunities to advance the diagnostic and prognostic capabilities of hospital-based ECG monitoring to improve patient outcomes. While I am a clinical scientist, I collaborate with biomedical engineers to solve these research questions. This unique pairing has allowed my research lab to design and test algorithm-based solutions within the field of electrocardiology.
