INITIATIVES:

Health and healthcare are complex. Whether you are a patient, healthcare professional, product developer, business leader, or policymaker, unaided, it can be difficult to understand the impact of different decisions you make. Computational approaches and technology can help as they have transformed decision making in other fields such as meteorology and air traffic control. Bruce and his team’s goal is to do the same in health and healthcare.
