Subject: Immediate UROP Opportunity for Pay/Credit; Graduate Students for Thesis/Credit
Date: November 4, 2018 at 5:08:47 PM EST
.........................................................................................................................................

Term: Fall 2018 and January 2019 with option to continue during Spring 2019
MIT Department/Lab/Center:  EECS, IMES, and CSAIL
Supervisor: Dr. Amar Gupta, Lead Researcher
Project Title: Telemedicine/Digital Health: Technical, Legal, Policy, and Strategy Issues
Project Description:
Immediate opportunities for UROP (for pay or credit) exist for multiple students from MIT, Harvard, and Wellesley, and graduate students (for thesis/credit) to work on Technical, Legal, Policy, or Strategy Issues related to the development and deployment of evolving Telemedicine and Telehealth approaches. Areas of immediate interest include:



  *   1.      Fostering new telemedicine laws and regulations that transcend state and national boundaries based on researching recent developments in these areas;
  *   2.      Designing, developing, and implementing a prototype system that incorporates innovative IT-based approaches for ensuring quality, possibly by building upon the foundation of the Jeanne Clery Act and incorporating evolving IT approaches for concurrent authentication and anonymity;
  *   3.      Surmounting the existing barriers to healthcare IT interoperability across organization and domain boundaries.
