    Collapse overview
    My research interests are mainly in the domain of Clinical Informatics and include projects such as: development of clinical decision support tools (e.g. a smart TPN calculator), development of a software infrastructure platform for mobile health, development of research database interfaces and data repositories, and analytic tools for intensive care unit physiological data.

    As a Neonatologist, I am also involved in multidisciplinary research in educating and training parents to become more deeply involved in the care of their newborn infant in the Intensive Care Nursery.

    Altmetrics Details PMC Citations indicate the number of times the publication was cited by articles in PubMed Central, and the Altmetric score represents citations in news articles and social media. (Note that publications are often cited in additional ways that are not shown here.) Fields are based on how the National Library of Medicine (NLM) classifies the publication's journal and might not represent the specific topic of the publication. Translation tags are based on the publication type and the MeSH terms NLM assigns to the publication. Some publications (especially newer ones and publications not in PubMed) might not yet be assigned Field or Translation tags.) Click a Field or Translation tag to filter the publications.
