Boston, Massachusetts, United States
Dr. Peter R Chai is an assistant professor of emergency medicine and medical toxicology at Brigham and Women’s Hospital/Harvard Medical School, and affiliate research scholar at the Koch Institute for Integrated Cancer Research at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and The Fenway Institute. He is also research faculty at the Dana Farber Cancer Institute. Dr. Chai’s career focuses around the development and implementation of technological solutions that detect and respond to changes in disease. His arc of translational science ranges from design of novel robotic and sensor systems in animal models to human clinical trials to test the implementation of injectable and ingestible sensor systems and overlying behavioral science architecture to respond to disease states. Dr. Chai is principal investigator on grants from the National Institutes of Health, and other foundation and industry sources to develop a range of electronic devices ranging from ingestible electronic sensors that measure medication adherence, music that alters the experience of pain, robotic systems to understand population exposures to pharmaceuticals and infectious diseases and robotic systems to facilitate contactless care of patients in the emergency department.
