Research focus: |
听(翱-贬滨骋)I lead the Opal Health Informatics Group at the RI-MUHC. O-HIG is the research team that designed, developed, clinically implemented听and actively supports听the Opal patient portal at the MUHC.听 Opal is an award-winning patient empowerment app and associated clinician-facing software that provides patients with access to their medical data and questionnaires to report听patient-reported outcomes. Clinicians get access to clinician-facing software that provides waiting room management tools and a live dashboard to view patient-reported outcomes. Within the O-HIG, I lead a team of 20 employees and three graduate students who are continuously adding improving and adding new features to听Opal and expanding its use to patients and clinicians within the MUHC and into several other hospitals in Montreal and across Quebec. Our research team is building blockchain-based data donation into Opal (Kayla O'Sullivan-Steban and Anton Gladyr)听as a well as an AI algorithm to match cancer patients for peer-support (Aixa Andrade). )听The ROKS group is听undertaking informatics research projects in radiation oncology in which the retrospective data of patients previously treated with radiotherapy are used to predict treatments and outcomes of new patients.听 Our research projects include comparing actual and delivered dose in prostate radiotherapy (Haley Patrick), predicting pain in patients with bone metastesis using natural language processing and radiomics (Hossein Naseri). natural language processing to semi-automate incident report classification in radiation oncology (Felix Mathew), and use of a DVH Registry to assess pediatric craniospinal irradiation (Esteban Sepulveda). )The NICE research team is examining the biphysics underlying the energy dependence of the neutron radiation weighting factors. Our various research projects are using a combination of DNA-scale Monte Carlo modelling (Logan Montgomery and James Manalad), experimental irradiations (Felix Mathew and Logan Montgomery), and radiobiology (Felix Mathew) to examine the biophysics underlying neutron dose deposition in himan tissue. |
