Comprehend Lab

The Comprehend Lab, led by Dr. Ariana M. Nelson, focuses on improving patient outcomes, empowering healthcare providers, and advancing scientific knowledge through multidisciplinary collaboration. Our team employs an artificial intelligence-driven approach to simplify complex medical texts, bridge health literacy gaps, and enhance patient-centered care.

Additionally, our work includes pioneering studies aimed at developing objective biomarkers for pain detection, examining analgesic responses in fibromyalgia, and investigating methods for detecting cannabis intoxication. Dr. Nelson’s research interests also extend to aerospace medicine, where she explores the medical capabilities and resources needed for space exploration.
