The 2017 MedTech Boston 40 Under 40 Healthcare Innovators

10. Dania Daye, MD, PhD
Resident Physician in Radiology at MGH and Project Lead, MGH Radiology Virtual Consult Investigator Group
Dr. Dania Daye is currently leading a project to implement virtual consults to help promote patient-centered care in radiology. This initiative has been highly successful and recently received a $100,000 innovation grant from the American College of Radiology.

Daye was drawn to medicine because she wanted to help others on a global scale. After completing her MD/PhD at the University of Pennsylvania and an interdisciplinary PhD in bioengineering as an HHMI-NIBIB Interfaces Scholar, Daye began working on cutting-edge imaging technologies bridging the fields of imaging, engineering, informatics and machine learning.

“In medicine, some of the most difficult diagnostic and treatment decisions often hinge on a radiologist’s input,” says Daye of her profession. “As a radiologist, I enjoy the highly fulfilling opportunity to impact the care of multiple patients every day. At the same time, though my research, I enjoy designing and implementing technologies that have impact on patient’s care at a broader scale.”
