Nelofar Kureshi
Health informatics researcher working across academic, public health, and clinical settings
My research focuses on public health informatics and digital health equity, with particular emphasis on algorithmic fairness in population health data. In addition to my postdoctoral work at Dalhousie, I work as a Clinical Performance Consultant within Nova Scotia Health and independently with clinics and health organizations on clinical data analytics.
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, and independently with clinics on a variety of clinical analytics including normative modeling, composite scores, and interpretable reporting.

Get in touch
I take on a small number of advisory engagements each year. If you're working on questions related to cognitive assessment, clinical performance analytics, or health data interpretation and think there might be a fit, I'd welcome a conversation.
