In the future clinical algorithms will help us decide what to do and, in some cases, make   clinical and reporting decisions for us. We are starting to see this in some   areas like radiology already – this reality will eventually affect all clinical specialties.


My long term goal is for UHS to become a national leader in data science with a strong track record of delivering applied clinical algorithms, products and tools which improve care for patients and make work better for clinical staff.

Contributed to recent regional secure data grant applications.


Impact example: 


2021. Worked with Tristan Clark to convincingly demonstrate that front-door Point of Care Testing (POCT) reduces patient to patient hospital acquired covid-19.


2022. Developed an algorithm with a Japanese group which can moderately accurately detect depth of early colorectal cancer at endoscopy.


2022. Proved the benefits of a significant service change in the IBD service at UHS.


2022. Led a team to validate and ultimately deploy the first production-ready non-image focused machine learning (ML) and rule-based algorithms at UHS: (Clinical pathway validation (rule-based) and patient feedback classification (ML)).
