Sensors that collect real-time vital statistics from hospital patients, sensors that monitor chronic conditions, and algorithms that integrate patient health statistics with environmental data to predict potential health crises could save lives and reduce healthcare costs. RENCI works with medical researchers to develop technology tools and the supporting cyberinfrastructure to better manage chronic diseases and better monitor ICU patients so that changes in their conditions can be spotted quickly. RENCI also partners with researchers in molecular biology, genomics, proteomics, and related fields to develop interdisciplinary cyberinfrastructure for studying the genetic causes of diseases.
