At the intersection of AI and healthcare, I’m building the AI platform at HealthUniverse.com<\/a> \u2014 and previously helped bring Suki.AI<\/a> to life, an intelligent voice assistant that frees clinicians to focus on what matters most: their patients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My vision is to explore intelligent systems (Human+AI) in medicine and healthcare. This involves solving problems and challenges during design, development and adoption of interactive tools that can provide useful insights to clinicians, researchers, and patients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have a PhD in Intelligent Systems<\/a> (Artificial Intelligence), from University of Pittsburgh<\/a>, where my dissertation<\/a> was on designing interactive methods<\/em> for Natural Language Processing on Clinical records:<\/p>\n\n\n

I hold an engineering bachelor’s degree in Information Technology from National Institute of Technology Karnataka, Surathkal<\/a>. I have previously worked with Nvidia<\/a> and Philips Healthcare’s Advanced Innovation Group<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here are links to my LinkedIn<\/a>, Google Scholar<\/a> and Github<\/a> profiles, if you’d like to know more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I enjoy Meditation<\/a> and playing Badminton<\/a>. I also play Tabla , an Indian musical drum<\/a> (Youtube<\/a>, Soundcloud<\/a>). You can find my blog here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
