Daniela Lamas, MD
Brigham & Womens Hospital, Boston, MA
Daniela Lamas is a member of the Division of Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine at Brigham and Women’s Hospital and a researcher at Ariadne Labs, a program for health systems innovation. She sees patients in the Brigham and Women’s pulmonary pre-transplant and post ICU clinics, works in the Medical Intensive Care Unit and rotates through the ventilator service at Spaulding Hospital in Cambridge. She became interested in outcomes after critical illness through writing about this topic in the lay press, and hopes that this website will help patients who have survived critical illness and their families become more prepared for what they might face.

Dr. Weinhouse is a full time member of the Division of Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine at Brigham and Women’s Hospital. He sees outpatients at both Brigham and Women’s Hospital and Dana Farber Cancer Institute and works in the Thoracic Surgical ICU. He is a co-director of the extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) service and medical director of the Respiratory Care Services and Pulmonary Function Labs.

Robert K. Rainer, JD
Co-Project Manager
In January and February of 2015, Rainer was an inpatient in two New Hampshire hospital ICUs for a total of 2 months, 4 weeks of which were spent in a coma. Having developed a number of PICS symptoms in the months following his lengthy ICU stay, Rainer had the good fortune of being introduced to Drs. Weinhouse and Lamas, who he was told by a friend were involved both in researching and treating PICS. patients.
​
Despite a limited capacity to work, because of Rainer's experience working with non-profits and his personal knowledge of what it is like to be a patient in an ICU, he was kindly offered a part-time position consulting for After the ICU. Rainer provides advice and guidance on a number of issues which he hopes will advance the development of AICU into a meaningful resource for PICS patients.
Robert Owens, MD
University of California - San Diego
Dr. Owens is a Pulmonary, Critical Care and Sleep Medicine physician. His clinical practice includes attending in the Intensive Care Unit and the Sleep Medicine Clinic, where he cares for patients with a range of sleep disorders. His research interest is the impact of sleep on both short and long term ICU outcomes. Specifically, would improving sleep in the hospital impact how well or how quickly people recover from illness? His interest in the AftertheICU project stems from his interest in learning from patients about how to improve the care he delivers, and the system of care in the ICU.
