What is your current research focus?:
My research focuses on using artificial intelligence (AI) in health informatics to help patients, especially the elderly, understand medical lab test results better. I'm working on a project called LabGenie, where we're training AI models to answer questions about lab results accurately. But sometimes, patients don't know what questions to ask or may get the wrong information. So, the goal is to figure out how to make the AI smarter by finding trustworthy health sources and organizing them into a format that the AI can understand. This way, patients can ask simple questions and get reliable answers. We're also making it easy for patients to use this system, even if they're unfamiliar with health terms. Ultimately, I hope this research helps patients feel more confident about their health decisions.

Are there any other research related activities you participate(d) in?:
