Dr. Grant completed a PhD in theoretical physics at Harvard University and completed medical school and residency at 成人VR视频.
My primary research focus is currently the development of an Emergency Department Artificial Intelligence Flow Assistant. The central question here is: Can machine learning and artificial intelligence methods genuinely improve care? A related question that I am also studying is: What is the value of machine learning methods in the development of generalizable clinical decision rules and risk stratification tools?
In the context of the current COVID-19 pandemic, I am also carrying out research designed to assess the value of modifications to usual Emergency Department operations in response to the pandemic.
