Neda Kaboodvand
Basic Life Res Scientist, Neurosurgery
Current Role at StanfordNeda Kaboodvand, PhD, is an Applied Research Scientist at Stanford University School of Medicine. Her research lies at the intersection of artificial intelligence, behavioral science, and clinical research, with a focus on using multimodal data to understand human behavior and improve clinical decision-making. She designs and leads experimental and observational studies and develops machine learning, statistical, and computational models to evaluate interventions, predict outcomes, and support personalized, adaptive approaches to care. A central part of her work involves modeling complex longitudinal and time-series data, including neural, electrophysiological, physiological, behavioral, imaging, and device-generated signals. By integrating these high-dimensional data sources, she develops models of patient and user state, identifies temporal patterns associated with outcomes and intervention response, and translates complex data into actionable insights for clinical and digital health systems.

Saraswati Kache
Clinical Professor, Pediatrics - Critical Care
BioDr. Kache is a Clinical Professor of Pediatrics in the Division of Critical Care Medicine whose work spans pediatric transport, device innovation, global health, and sustainability. A recent Stanford Biodesign Faculty Fellow and recognized educator with multiple teaching awards, she is engaged in device development, building on a career devoted to critically ill children through innovation, education, and global collaboration.
She chairs the Sepsis Steering Committee at LPCH, which she helped launch in 2017 to develop a hospital-specific pathway from international guidelines, identify improvement opportunities, and drive better outcomes through education and evaluation of clinical data. She previously served on the American College of Critical Care Medicine committee that authored the Pediatric Sepsis Guidelines, shaping national and international standards.
As Medical Director of the Transport Program, she focuses on team education and standardized processes to build a high-functioning pediatric critical care transport team dedicated to safe inter-facility transport of critically ill children. She is also partnering with the American Academy of Pediatrics on a national multidisciplinary pediatric transport curriculum.
As a Stanford Innovations in Global Health Faculty Fellow, she founded the pediatric residency's Global Health Track to train physicians in equitable, sustainable pediatric care. Internationally, she has helped establish and support PICUs in Nepal, Uganda, and Zimbabwe, introduced CPAP in low-resource settings, and led PICU education and capacity-building to strengthen critical care infrastructure.
A member of the Maternal Child Health Research Institute, her research integrates guideline development, systems improvement, and global implementation of evidence-based pediatric critical care. She has recently begun examining how healthcare systems affect climate change and how to improve sustainability. -
