Key research themes

1. How can data preprocessing and integration methods improve the quality and utility of medical data for secondary analysis?

Research in this area focuses on transforming raw and heterogeneous medical data from sources like Electronic Health Records (EHRs) and administrative databases into clean, integrated, and analyzable datasets suitable for statistical analysis and AI-driven investigations. This is crucial because medical data often suffer from missingness, noise, inconsistency, and complex multi-source formats that impede reliable downstream analysis. Effective preprocessing safeguards data quality, reduces bias, and enhances the validity of research findings derived from secondary data use.

Key finding: This work delineates a systematic methodology for preprocessing EHR data through sequential steps: cleaning (addressing missing data, noise, and inconsistencies), integration (merging heterogeneous datasets into a unified... Read more

2. What roles do artificial intelligence and machine learning play in pattern discovery and predictive modeling in medical data?

This theme encompasses the application of advanced AI and ML methods to analyze vast, complex healthcare datasets for extracting clinical patterns, making predictions (e.g., disease risk or outcome), and supporting decision-making. It addresses challenges of heterogeneous and unstructured data and evaluates various AI techniques such as regression models, neural networks, clustering algorithms, and text mining frameworks. Research investigates method performance, interpretability, deployment feasibility, and AI’s contribution to improving diagnostics and personalized treatments.

3. How can emerging technologies ensure security, privacy, and ethical use in medical data sharing and research?

Given the sensitivity and regulatory constraints of medical data, research in this area investigates innovative technological solutions, including blockchain and advanced encryption, to secure data sharing and manage patient consent. It addresses challenges related to data ownership, privacy protection, informed consent modalities (including broad consent for biobanks), and ethical secondary data use. Research emphasizes frameworks enabling transparent, encrypted, and patient-centered data exchange while complying with legal requirements and fostering trust in data-driven healthcare innovation.

Key finding: This research proposes a blockchain-based framework integrating a Modified Advanced Encryption Standard (MAES) to secure transparent medical data exchange among healthcare entities. The study details the framework’s... Read more
