Arrhythmia, or irregular heartbeat, can be deadly but arrhythmia linked to sudden death is quite rare, making it a challenging condition to study. A powerful computer model developed by a team of researchers led by ICM alum, Mark A. Walker, gives promise to future developments in the treatment of arrhythmia. in a study published in the […]
In an article published in the November 2017 issue of Notices of the American Mathematical Society, Tilak Ratnanather points out that because of its visual nature mathematics is an attractive discipline to people with hearing loss. It may seem surprising then, that very few people with hearing loss have achieved advanced degrees in Mathematics. In his […]
Sepsis contributes to as many as 50% of hospital deaths. A new tool developed by Johns Hopkins engineer and ICM core faculty member, Suchi Saria, could help doctors spot sepsis before it’s too late. Saria was featured in NovaNext for her extensive work using computer algorithms and patient data to save lives. “The signs that […]
