Research
Chronic Disease Prevention and Management:
- Researching lifestyle factors contributing to chronic diseases.
- Developing interventions to promote healthy behaviours and prevent chronic conditions.
Health Disparities:
- Exploring and addressing health disparities among different populations.
- Identifying social determinants impacting access to healthcare and health outcomes.
Population Health Analytics:
- Using EHR data for population-level analysis to identify health trends and disparities.
- Developing predictive models to anticipate and prevent public health issues.
Chronic Disease Management and EHRs:
