Dr. Boyer's research spans anesthesiology, neural regeneration, and digital health, with a strong emphasis on machine learning applications in critical care monitoring, wearable-based preoperative risk assessment, and peripheral nerve repair. His work integrates engineering principles with clinical innovation to improve perioperative outcomes.

His recent publications reflect a trend toward intelligent monitoring systems, including real-time arrhythmia detection, ICU alarm classification using machine learning, and explainable AI models for EEG-based activity recognition. He also investigates social determinants in surgical recovery and novel therapies in nerve regeneration using polyethylene glycol and processed allografts.

Dr. Boyer has received research funding as a Principal Investigator from the National Institute on Aging and the Foundation for Anesthesia Education & Research for projects involving wearable technology in geriatric surgical risk stratification. He is also a Co-Investigator on a PCORI-funded study comparing propofol and volatile anesthesia outcomes.
