Congratulations to Dr. J. Randall Moorman, the 2014 Edlich-Henderson Innovator of the Year. The honor recognizes his body of research and, specifically, the development of a predictive monitoring tool for early diagnosis of potentially fatal illnesses in infants. Dr. Moorman is a cardiologist and professor of medicine, biomedical engineering, molecular physiology and biological physics.

Heart of the Matter: Cardiologist Honored for Tool that Detects Infections in Infants

Moorman invented a heart-monitoring system that can predict life-threatening infections in very low-birth-weight infants, giving doctors time to prevent them and potentially save thousands of lives.
