Matthias Görges
Faculty Bio
Matthias Görges is an Associate Professor (Partner) in the Department of Anesthesiology, Pharmacology, and Therapeutics. Based at BC Children’s Hospital Research Institute, where I co-lead the Digital Health Innovation Lab and formerly the Pediatric Anesthesia Research Team, my team conducts innovative research blending technology and patient care. The introduction of information technology in medicine has enabled a transformational change in recent decades, and the ongoing coronavirus pandemic further accelerated the application of virtual health solutions. My primary focus is using technology to enhance patient outcomes through design, implementation, and evaluation. Therefore, we collaborate transdisciplinaryly with engineers, computer scientists, and healthcare professionals, primarily in pediatric anesthesia and related specialties. Nowadays, most of my work focuses on a) digital health platform development and b) applications for predictive analytics, while in the past, I also worked on c) data displays for clinical decision support, d) vital signs collection infrastructure, and e) closed-loop control of anesthesia.
