Dr. Shalish discusses his groundbreaking 2023 study published in Nature Medicine, which explored the use of acoustics to aid in diagnosis and treatment. This pivotal research laid the foundation for his current work at the Neo-BEAT Lab (Neonatal Biomedical Engineering and Acoustics Translational Research Lab). The lab’s mission is to harness sound as a "sixth vital sign"—a novel tool for diagnosing and predicting treatment needs in neonates.

Imagine a world where babies in the NICU can be cradled in their parents' arms without being tethered to a web of wires. The Smart Hospital Project is working to make that dream a reality. We believe in thinking big and embracing innovation to create a brighter future for our littlest patients.
