ThetaRho welcomes Shyam Visweswaran MD, PhD as Chief Medical Officer. With degrees in both medicine and artificial intelligence, Dr. Visweswaran is at the forefront of a select group of physicians dedicated to bridging the gap between medicine and technology. He is a Professor of Biomedical Informatics at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine, a Fellow of the American College of Medical Informatics (ACMI), and a Fellow of the Australasian Institute of Digital Health (AIDH).
His research focuses on harnessing the power of artificial intelligence for personalized predictive modeling in medicine and clinical decision support. He led a National Library of Medicine-funded research program focused on creating an intelligent electronic health record system to provide precise decision support using the right data at the right time. He directs the Center for Clinical Artificial Intelligence, which develops, implements, and evaluates high-performance clinical decision support tools powered by artificial intelligence. He is the Director of the Informatics Core at the University of Pittsburgh Clinical and Translational Science Institute (CTSI), one of the Principal Investigators for the All of Us Pennsylvania research project, which is part of President Obama's Precision Medicine Initiative, and one of the Principal Investigators of the Evolve to Next-Gen Accrual of Patients to Clinical Trials (ENACT) network, which created one of the largest electronic health record-based research platforms.
It is, therefore, our distinct honor to welcome Dr. Visweswaran to ThetaRho. He plays a crucial role in ThetaRho product development, design, data, and ontology development while advocating for ethical practices and a user-centric approach in all aspects of the startup’s operations.
