Currently the BISI research group is managed by Ronald Buyl and Kurt Barbé. Both have a background in statistics, the former has years of clinical experience and focuses on eHealth, the latter brings in years of experience in research on mathematics and statistics and focuses on statistical processing and modeling of medical instrumentation. The group combines doctoral researchers and PhD's from different backgrounds among which are computer science, mathematics and psychology. Most members are actively involved in teaching.
In 2017, Kurt Barbé initiated a formalization of the consultancy provided by Ronald Buyl and his team to support clinical research which led to a consultancy unit, the Interfaculty Center Data processing and Statistics (ICDS).
