Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine and University Hospitals have advanced in the STAT Madness Competition, a bracket-style contest for biomedical research. CWRU and UH are up against New York University College of Dentistry in the second round of voting.
Case Western Reserve’s and UH’s project leverages continuous remote home monitoring with ICU-level technology, coupled with therapy—which could open up a new way to keep people healthy at home rather than in a hospital. The approach offers a potential solution for hospitals saddled with soaring costs and escalating nurse vacancy rates.
