Prof. Roger G Mark

Dr. Mark's research activities include physiological signal processing and database development, cardiovascular modeling, and intelligent patient monitoring. Finally, Dr. Mark is investigating techniques to utilize the enormous volumes of clinical and physiologic data generated by patients in intensive care units in order to track and possibly predict their pathophysiological state. The techniques being explored include multi-parameter real-time signal processing, system identification and modeling, and expert systems. The goal is to solve the problem of information overload in the ICU, improve clinician-machine interface, decrease false alarm rates, and support clinical decision-making.
