Emanuela Keller

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Emanuela Keller (* 1964 ) is the head physician of the neuro- intensive care unit of the University Hospital Zurich (USZ) and a specialist in internal medicine and intensive care medicine .

Professional background

Keller began her professional career in 1988 as a research assistant at the Institute of Physiology at the University of Zurich , after completing her medical degree in Zurich in 1988. In 1989 she completed a postgraduate course and was a research assistant in cardiology at Hammersmith Hospital in London . From 1989 to 1992 she was an assistant doctor for internal medicine at the Regional Hospital in Wädenswil and at the Triemli City Hospital in Zurich . From 1993 to 1995 she was an assistant doctor in anesthesia and trauma surgery intensive care unit at the University Hospital Zurich. In 1994 she received her specialist in internal medicine. In 1995 she was senior physician for internal medicine at Triemli City Hospital, Zurich. Since 1998 she has been the head physician at the neuro-intensive care unit at the University Hospital Zurich. In 2014 she received a professorship as “Extraordinaria ad personam” at the University of Zurich.

Awards

In 2011, Keller won the Swiss Quality Award in the technology category. Together with scientists from the ETH Zurich , she developed a method for measuring cerebral blood flow in addition to the existing oxygen measurement in the brain of stroke , head and brain trauma or cardiac arrest patients .

In 2014 she received her professorship at the University of Zurich , where she conducts research on projects on “ data mining ” and “ cognitive computing ” for data processing and therapy support in intensive care medicine. In 2017 she received over CHF 500,000 from the Swiss National Science Foundation for her research project "ICU Cockpit: IT platform for multimodal patient monitoring and therapy support in intensive care and emergency medicine", which has been carried out since 2014 between the University Hospital Zurich in cooperation with the ETH Zurich and others Partners. The cockpit collects data from numerous medical devices in real time and is intended to reduce false alarms in intensive care patients and to predict potentially critical complications. The project develops algorithms for the early detection of epileptic seizures and secondary cerebral circulation disorders.

In 2017, Keller received CHF 573,853 from the Swiss National Science Foundation for her research project “ICU Cockpit”. The project was selected for participation in the national research program “Big data”. In the “ICU Cockpit”, research partners from ETH Zurich, IBM Research and Supercomputing Systems collect and synchronize data from numerous medical devices with a temporal resolution of up to 200Hz. Based on data mining and artificial intelligence , large amounts of data are used to model complex pathophysiological relationships in order to develop algorithms for early warning systems and therapy recommendations in emergency and intensive care medicine . "Big Data" (NRP 75) of the Swiss National Science Foundation is intended to provide the scientific basis for the effective and appropriate use of large amounts of data.
