A rapidly assembled volunteer team of engineers, physicians, computer scientists, and others, centered at MIT, is working to implement a safe, inexpensive alternative for emergency use, which could be built quickly around the world.
Located on the MIT campus and named for fallen MIT Police Officer Sean Collier, who was killed in the line of duty on April 18, 2013, the center will provide care for members of the MIT community and individuals from the broader Cambridge community.
Aclinical team in Boston has reported being able to monitor a COVID-19 patient remotely, thanks to a device developed at CSAIL that can monitor a patient’s breathing, movement and sleep patterns using wireless signals.
MIT researchers have designed a congestion-control scheme for wireless networks that could help reduce lag times and increase quality in video streaming, video chat, mobile gaming, and other web services.
