Use AI For Individual Outcome Predictions
- Use AI to mine trial and registry databases to produce individualized outcome predictions for parents and clinicians.
- Expose constrained, validated chatbots to deliver parent-friendly, statistically grounded answers from those models.
From Engineering To The BEAR ACL Repair
- Martha Murray pivoted from engineering to medicine after seeing the harsh ACL repair standard of care firsthand.
- Her research found the ACL fails to clot in the joint fluid and led to the BEAR sponge repair that promotes biologic healing.
BEAR May Lower Long-Term Arthritis Risk
