His team of investigators at the Cedars-Sinai Center for Outcomes Research and Education (CS-CORE) seeks to transform the way patients, doctors, and hospitals communicate through wearable biosensors that track patients' vital signs and activities both in the hospital and at home, transmitting data to electronic medical records. His team develops computer programs and mobile health applications that allow patients to explain their medical histories online at home, saving time and providing up-to-date information for doctors. The team also explores social media and telemedicine as clinical communication tools.
