Our research focuses on the development of new machine learning-based methodologies for unstructured biomedical data such as 2D retina images, X-Rays, 3D CT or MRIs, videos and signals extracted from the interaction with digital devices. Our work has been applied to multiple biomedical applications, such as stroke diagnosis, diabetic retinopathy screening, or neurodegenerative disease tracking, and successfully translated to industry with two startups based on his methods. One, Hubble Telemedical, was acquired by Welch Allyn, another, nQ-Medical has raised significant investment. Dr. Giancardo has authored/co-authored more than 60 peer-reviewed articles which were featured by news outlets such as MIT Technology Review, Smithsonian magazine, and others. His research and lab have been supported by competitive grants from the National Institute of Health, Translational Research Institute for Space Health, foundations, and private companies.
