Frank Moss served as director of the MIT Media Lab and the Jerome B. Wiesner Professor of Media Arts and Sciences from 2006 to 2011. An entrepreneur and 25-year veteran of the computer and biotech industries, Moss spent most of his career bringing innovative business technologies to market. At the Media Lab, he’s been seeking something different: how to use technology to address pressing social problems and to improve quality of life for people worldwide. Moss and his colleagues at the Media Lab envision a globally connected digital society that makes people smarter, healthier, and more creative. The Lab is conducting research on technologies that extend and enhance people's physical, cognitive and social capabilities; robots that can relate to people in more human terms; and organically decentralized networks that unlock people’s creative, innovative and problem-solving powers. Under his direction the New Media Medicine group is exploring how these technologies and others can revolutionize health care through radical new collaborations between doctors, patients and communities.
