With both patented algorithms that look historically at the patient state as well as predictive analysis algorithms applied to said state, hospitals can reduce the risks involved in post op care with event trigger alerts that focus on the patient and reduce the alert blindness at the nurses stations because of the high amount of false positives that permeate their care cycles.

Located within Savannah’s iconic Downtown Historic District, Trustees’ Garden was founded by General James Oglethorpe and the Trustees of England in 1734 and first served as a testing ground to determine what crops would flourish in this new land for sustenance and revenue. After a ten year time span, Trustees Garden went through a series of incantations including serving as earthen forts guarding the river entrance against foreign invaders because of its height and proximity to the Savannah River. In the late 1800s, Trustees Garden became home to the largest iron works in the country, that of the famed Kehoe Ironworks, and now in all their splendor, several of the remaining buildings have been meticulously restored and repurposed with state of the art amenities for use centered around corporate and community events as well as the arts, entertainment and cultural affairs!Because of my background in architecture and construction, for an approximate 5 year time span (while also President of Morris Technology), I worked with the owner Charles H. Morris as the Owner's Representative to see his vision come to life for the restoration of the 11 acre Trustees Garden site with multiple buildings being brought back to life amidst large landscape architectural changes. Over the course of time, the role encompassed coordination between the owner and an extraordinaire team that included Cowart Group Architects and lead Architect Kevin Rose, their engineers, New South Construction, the Savannah Historic Review Board, and others to shepherd the process to completion. This process included being involved in the creation of requirement documents, to multiple ideations in the schematic design phase, ensuring that the honing of plans in design development phase for construction documentation met the owner's vision, and finally the completion of multiple buildings on the site for a visionary project that ultimately cost north of 8 figures!
