How do we use data and technology to improve health and healthcare delivery? 
 
A central theme of my research is concerned with developing health informatics and data science tools as data-driven decision support for health and healthcare delivery. I am interested in outcome prediction, process optimization, and health communication. My research is funded by the NIH, AHRQ, and US-DOT. 

Aside from research, as the Informatics Director of Clinical Decision Support at NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital, I also work on the implementation of prediction models into the electronic health record systems.

An emerging interest of mine is the health impact of social media.

I am fluent in English, Japanese, and Chinese. I welcome global research collaborations.

MACHINE LEARNING ALGORITHM DEVELOPMENT

The application of AI in health requires a deep knowledge about the methodology and the domain. We develop customized algorithms for data-driven clinical decision support.

PROCESS OPTIMIZATION

The electronic health record captures a wealth of data on clinician decisions and activities. We study these logs to propose optimization in the clinical workflow.

SPECIAL (SUPPORTING PREGNANCY CARE USING ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE)

Maternal health remains an understudied area in Health Informatics. We aim to improve care process and outcomes using AI.

Development and validation of a machine learning algorithm for predicting the risk of postpartum depression among pregnant women

This model is currently implemented into Epic EHR. For more details, please see our upcoming publication in JAMIA.
