Story

Story guides patients through creating interactive visual timelines of their symptoms and related events that make it easier to organize and share their concerns with their doctors ahead of a visit.

iOS app that patients can use to create their symptom timelines and share them with their doctors.

Story's interactive visual timelines make it easier for doctors to understand their patients' symptoms and uncover patterns that may otherwise be hard to find.

Web app that doctors can use to explore interactive timelines created by their patients.

Story consists of an iOS app, a React-based web app, and backend built with Node.js/Express and MongoDB hosted on Amazon Web Services.

Carescribe

Carescribe collects clinically relevant information from patients and automatically generates clinical documentation, allowing doctors to spend more meaningful time with patients at their visits. Carescribe can be customized to fit the needs of individual specialties and practices.

The example below shows how Carescribe was customized to manage the most common issues encountered in an Ear, Nose & Throat practice.

Stablematch

Open-source simulation of the algorithm used to pair medical school graduates with residency training programs in the US. The Match generally takes place in March of each year with over 40,000 applicants and 30,000 hospital positions.

Whitecoat

Whitecoat is a conversational AI agent that helps speed up clinical documentation for urgent care and telehealth clinics by gathering a history of present illness from a patient and preparing it in a format that can be included directly in a clinician's note. Whitecoat is trained to handle the most common clinical complaints encountered in the urgent care setting.

I built Whitecoat as a web application using the IBM Watson Assistant API and Node.js/Express.

Prioritas

Prioritas was a machine learning project developed in 2013 to help primary care physicians organize the large number of radiology reports they recieve daily in their practices. Prioritas sorts out reports with abnormal findings and prioritizes those that need urgent attention.

Prioritas recieved the MIT Hacking Medicine prize at the inaugural Brigham & Women's Hospital iHUB Hackathon and was a finalist in the American Medical Informatics Association's Ideas that Work competition.

Off the Record

As a teen, it’s embarrassing and awkward to openly ask your doctor questions about things like drugs, alcohol, sex, etc. when your parents are in the room. These conversations reveal risk factors that lead to accidents and suicide, the two biggest killers in the adolescent population.

Off The Record allows teens to use a number specific to their doctor to request a one-time link to a secure messaging app where they can enter in the question or concern privately. There is no separate app to install, account to create, or data stored on the phone that can be tracked.

Messages are delivered to the doctor's inbox where they can reviewed before an appointment, allowing the doctor to prepare for and broach the sensitive topic with the patient. In order to protect the patient's privacy, messages are never stored in the patient's medical record and erase themselves after being read.

Navi

Navi is a combination of web and mobile applications and an IoT device that allows incident commanders to monitor the situational safety of first responders in a mass disaster situation. Navi was a winning solution in the NIST.gov TechToProtect Challenge in NYC.

Navi was built with React, React Native, Raspberry Pi, Flask, IBM Watson, Node.js/Express, PostgreSQL on IBM Cloud.

Hermes Assistant

Hermes was one of the earliest voice assistants capable of answering questions about patients by retrieving data from an electronic health record system.

ReginaG

Regina is a chatbot that helps teens gain confidence standing up to cyberbullies. Users can communicate with Regina via SMS, Facebook Messenger or a mobile app.

Regina analyzes the user's confidence level when standing up to the virtual bully and provides encouragement and advice.

I built Regina with Ellie Seoe Jung, Jaya Kasa, and Raghav Bhardwaj in 2016 for the #HackHarrassment challenge hosted by Intel & Lady Gaga's Born This Way Foundation in which Regina was chosen as a winning solution.

Critical Results

The first smartwatch app capable of recieving customized critical lab notifications from an electronic health record system, created in 2014 for the Pebble.

Viranos

Viranos is a platform developed to help COVID-19 patients monitor their health following diagnosis while also providing researchers and clinicians the tools to improve the understanding of long-term physical and psychosocial effects of the disease.

Presentation for Google Cloud COVID-19 Demo Day

Leveraging ResearchKit, HealthKit and CareKit, the app schedules periodic surveys to help patients and clinicians track the progression of their symptoms and incorporates data from Apple Watch and Apple Health Records to create a multi-faceted, longitudinal view of their condition. The app also provides resources to patients including support groups and clinical trial opportunities.

Viranos includes a clinician & researcher dashboard that can be integrated into an electronic health record system using the SMART-on-FHIR framework. This dashboard can be used to visualize the data collected by our mobile app in the context of other data from the patient's medical record.

Clinician/Researcher Dashboard

Using Google Cloud's Healthcare Natural Language API, Viranos can map free-text survey responses into clinical terminology for use in clinical management and data analysis.

Viranos was originally designed during Stanford Biodesign CardinalKit - Building for Digital Health and is part of Google Cloud's COVID-19 program.

Localing

Localing is a marketplace platform created during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic to help small & micro-businesses in villages surrounding Cambridge, UK that were forced to close down or go into limited operations.

Localing allows customers to pre-purchase discounted packages of goods and services from these businesses, providing them with cash flow in the short-term that they need to maintain operations, increasing the chance of them surviving and re-opening fully in the future.

Overview of the project

Localing was the first place winner at the Cambridge University Judge Business School's ‘Cam vs Covid’ Hackathon in May 2020, partnered with multiple town councils and businesses in the Cambridge area, and was accepted to be part of the University's Accelerate Cambridge startup accelerator program.

Demo of our marketplace platform featuring "virtual high streets" for villages surrounding Cambridge.

I co-founded Localing and built the web platform using React/Redux, Stripe, Node.js/Express, and Dialogflow.

Alla Tillsammans

Alla Tillsammans is a project that organizes assistance for people who are isolated and vulnerable to COVID-19 in partnership with municipality and local non-profit groups in Sweden including the Swedish Church, the Red Cross, the Tjörn Municipality, SPF Seniorerna and others. (Read more in the Swedish media.)

In 2021, the platform is moving towards addressing social seclusion in the elderly population.

Alla Tillsammans is an open-source web platform built with React, Redux, and Node.js on Google Cloud Platform. I worked on this platform with Swedish designer/developer Åsa Isacson.

Machbarschaft

Project overview (in German)

Machbarschaft (a word play on the German for “doable” and “neighborhood”) connects millions in Germany without internet access or technical literacy (i.e. older persons living alone) with their neighbors who are willing to provide help for obtaining essentials such as medication and groceries.

The solution consists of an AI-powered hotline that accepts requests, and mobile apps that guide volunteers to complete them.

App Design

Machbarschaft was chosen as one of 20 projects out of >1,500 for the German federal government's #WirVsVirus program.

I worked with the Germany-based team to design and build a mobile app for volunteers to accept and fulfill requests.
