People

Welcome to the CARE Lab website, The CARE Lab is a research group at Worcester Polytechnic Institute focused on state-of-the-art AI for healthcare. Example projects include passive smartphone and wearable assessment or digital phenotyping, image analyses for wound assessment, cardiac AI and passive gait analyses to detect intoxication or impairment. Our approaches encompass AI and mobile ubiquitous computing.

Our work is generously supported by the National Science Foundation, National Institutes of Health, DARPA, Google.
