Care Philosophy
We have access to advanced cloud technology and data science tools and there is a moral imperative upon us to use these tools for the greater good - my work focuses on bringing high tech solutions to low tech, and medically underserved minority populations. Most recently we have been exploring methods of wellness outreach to elder patients with multiple chronic conditions.
