Congrats to @bratogram and @Jayson_Marwaha. SILab project was highlighted by @JAMANetworkOpen. Team wanted to understand how opioid prescribing after surgery was related to downstream family risk of chronic opioid use and misuse. Refills were a major risk factor.

This cohort study found each additional opioid refill for a patient was associated with a 19% increase in hazard of opioid misuse in household members -- opioid exposure after surgery is a household risk. @BIDMCSurgery @HarvardDBMI @Aetna @MarkBicket ja.ma/3uTg1gt

Our recent paper in @SurgJournal. A collaboration with @MIT_CSAIL to build machine learning-based opioid prescribing tools. Read more at surgjournal.com/article/S0039-… #ML #AI #opiods #medtwitter #surgicalAI
New in @SurgJournal:
Machine learning is uniquely suited to personalize opioid prescribing & guide safer opioid prescription sizes for surgical patients. Excited to see our work with @MIT_CSAIL out on building ML-based opioid prescribing tools: (1/3)

Inspired work by @Jayson_Marwaha, fellow in the lab. New modalities will soon generate data that expand our understanding of the surgical journey. The intervention to improve that journey will be surgical informatics.
Video data can be used to reliably & practically capture vitals and other physiologic info in the hospital.

Contactless tech like this may soon enable ambient patient monitoring in the home & many other settings too - for pt care, trials, & more. Our new piece in @npjDigitalMed:
