Lab Website

Laboratory of Computational Intensive Care Medicine - Lab Website

• The Stevens Lab (Laboratory of Computational Intensive Care Medicine) leverages robust theoretical paradigms, high-resolution multidimensional data, and artificial intelligence to enhance resilience and recovery of critically ill neurological patients.

Research Summary

Dr. Stevens is recognized internationally for innovations he has developed in the treatment of patients with critical neurological illness and injury. His research leverages advanced neuroimaging and physiological measurements, mechanistic modeling, and data science. He created the Laboratory for Computational Intensive Care Medicine (LCICM), an interdisciplinary research group which applies AI to decode high-dimensional health data, with the goal of increasing precision and personalization in the care of critically ill patients.
