Podcasts about health systems engineering

Since recording this episode, Dr. Karmella Haynes has joined the faculty in the Wallace H. Coulter Department of Biomedical Engineering at Georgia Tech School of Engineering and Emory University School of Medicine. At the time of recording, Karmella was an Assistant Professor in the Ira A. Fulton School of Biological and Health Systems Engineering at Arizona State University. She was also a senior judge for the International Genetically Engineered Machine Competition. Karmella studies synthetic biology, which involves synthesizing DNA outside of a cell and designing those new pieces of DNA so that they can be used for different purposes like stopping cancer cells from growing or helping stimulate tissue regeneration. She enjoys engaging her creative side within the lab as well as outside of the lab. When she is not working, Karmella likes to look at art and to paint paint with oil or acrylic on canvas. She received her Ph.D. in Molecular Genetics from Washington University in St. Louis. Prior to joining the faculty at ASU, Karmella was awarded a Howard Hughes Medical Institute Teaching and Research fellowship at Davidson College, followed by an NIH postdoctoral fellowship at Harvard Medical School. Karmella joined us for an interview to tell us all about her journey through life and science.

Devesh Dahale currently works as the Director of Health Systems Engineering at Southeast Health, a 420-bed regional facility. This team, through innovation and sustained performance, has achieved the reputation of providing excellent diagnostic, clinical, surgical and patient care services available in the region. Devesh's previous improvement work in healthcare was at Cincinnati Children's Hospital and through two collaboratives consisting of multiple pediatric hospitals. Devesh's journey is very intriguing from his early days of automotive component engineering and solving physical component issues like wiring defects to now providing meaningful inferences to add efficiencies to processes and improvements in performance within Healthcare facilities. His work in effectively capturing bedside patient data and understanding at a larger scale the general well-being of a patient population and even community is very impressive. His passion for continuous improvement of patient outcomes and experience is super inspiring.

Guest: Jeffrey La Belle, PhD Host: Steven Edelman, MD Many patients do not test blood glucose levels as often as they should, due to pain associated with the finger stick, as well as the need for an excess of testing paraphernalia. This week's guest discusses a potential non-invasive test on the horizon that would use tears to measure glucose levels. Dr. Jeffrey La Belle, biomedical engineering research professor in the School of Biological and Health Systems Engineering in Arizona State University's Ira A. Fulton Schools of Engineering and the Biodesign Institute, discusses promising new research in testing that may improve effectiveness and compliance with measuring blood glucose.

Beyond grammar, the logic and flow can make or break a piece of writing. Dr. Chris Buneo and Dr. Vincent Pizziconi, from the School of Biological and Health Systems Engineering, explain that a piece of writing must be cohesive and guide the reader through the argument and not just individual pieces. As science writers, they discuss how the use of the charts, graphs, and other figures can be used to, in a sense, tell a story of the data in a way that your audience is able to understand what your intend.
