Diego Gonzalez Garcia-Torres

Diego Gonzalez Garcia-Torres is a Deployment Engineer 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 a non-contact neonatal monitoring project: a bedside system that pairs a thermal and an RGB camera to measure heart rate, breathing, and temperature and to detect apnea in premature infants without touching them, in development for the Cohen Children's NICU and funded through NIH and philanthropic grants he helped write. 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, working across the stack from Python and cloud training jobs to React and FastAPI.
