Conversation with Dr.Leo Celi
from BrainX Talks · host Ashish Khanna, Chintan Dave, Piyush Mathur and AI enthusiasts!
Excited to bring to you all Dr.Leo Anthony Celi, a name that I grew up with reading and admiring his landmark work in big data analytics pertinent to critical care. As clinical research director and principal research scientist at the MIT Laboratory for Computational Physiology (LCP), and as a practicing intensive care unit (ICU) physician at the Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center (BIDMC), Leo brings together clinicians and data scientists to support research using data routinely collected in the process of care. His group built and maintains the publicly-available Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care (MIMIC) database and the Philips-MIT eICU Collaborative Research Database, with more than 25,000 users from around the world. In addition, Leo is one of the course directors for HST.936 – global health informatics to improve quality of care, and HST.953 – collaborative data science in medicine, both at MIT. He is an editor of the textbook for each course, both released under an open access license. "Secondary Analysis of Electronic Health Records" has been downloaded more than a million times, and has been translated to Mandarin, Spanish and Korean. He is the inaugural editor of PLOS Digital Health.
