Healthcare Innovations and Translational Informatics lab (HITI) @

The Healthcare Innovation and Translational Informatics lab (HITI-lab) based out of the Department of Radiology at Emory University works at the intersection Informatics , Artificial Intelligence, and Healthcare. Our projects encompass a wide range of topics from computer vision to natural language processing to radiology workflow. We strive to base each project on a real clinical need and end with implementation of our products into a clinical workflow. Our team works in an interdisciplinary environment comprised of physicians, medical and engineering students, residents, and staff scientists who can each lend their respective expertise.

Please review our Projects page for our current areas of work. If you are interested in collaborating with us contact us via email at emoryhitilab AT gmail DOT com
