Research Projects

Smart Eyewear in the Operating Room

  • This project is funded by FAER and aims to improve patient safety and medical record fidelity. It is a collaboration between the Departments of Anesthesiology andthe UW Mobile Systems Lab.

  • Utilizing machine learning and computer vision we aim to detect the presence of syringes, identify their contents and report back to the clinician and the medical record.


New Developments in Neuromuscular Blockade

  • This project through GaviaLabs aims to improve understanding of neuromuscular blockade in patients undergoing surgery requiring complete immobilization.

  • In addition to testing all commercially available products, we have built a novel mechanomygraphy device so this 'gold standard' assessment technique can also be used in studies.
