Health informatician building and evaluating digital health systems across clinical, public health, and academic settings
I am a health informatician working across clinical, public health, and academic settings. At Nova Scotia Health, I am a Clinical Performance Consultant in Performance & Analytics, where I build and maintain clinical data systems and provide primary health care analytics and performance reporting across the province. I am also an Adjunct Professor in the Faculty of Computer Science at Dalhousie University, where my research focuses on public health informatics and digital health equity, with particular emphasis on algorithmic fairness in population health data.
Research
My research applies fairness auditing methods to machine learning models that predict unmet health care needs across Canadian populations. Earlier doctoral work focused on the spatial epidemiology of TBI and post-injury mental health outcomes in Nova Scotia.
Consulting
I work with Nova Scotia Health on clinical analytics and performance improvement. I have worked independently with clinics on a variety of clinical analytics including normative modeling, composite scores, and interpretable reporting.
