Team

Diego Gonzalez Garcia-Torres

IT&S Project Coordinator

Diego Gonzalez Garcia-Torres is an IT&S Project Coordinator at the Division of Health AI, part of the Feinstein Institutes for Medical Research at Northwell Health. He builds the software and infrastructure that move the division's models out of research and into the hospital, and does the work that keeps them running: data pipelines, deployment, monitoring, security review, and integration with clinical systems. He shadows physicians in the hospital to keep the work grounded in how care is actually delivered.

He supports the EHR-based model for predicting in-hospital deterioration, now running silently across multiple Northwell hospitals, and a nursing workforce model that forecasts staffing demand and attrition up to 12 months ahead. He also leads an early-stage non-contact patient monitoring project. Alongside these he builds internal tools for the lab, from a chart-annotation app for physicians to an ECG screening tool and utilities for grant preparation and model training.

In-hospital deterioration prediction

Deep learning models that estimate a hospitalized patient's risk of deterioration continuously, from the electronic health record and from wearable sensors, so that clinicians are warned hours before a rapid response or ICU transfer.

Division project

Nursing workforce forecasting

Machine learning models using DeepAR probabilistic forecasting predict nursing workforce demand across Northwell's hospital units up to 12 months ahead, supporting preemptive hiring and staffing decisions across diverse specialties.
