Founder and Chair of NeuriSight - building next-generation psychiatric escalation prediction infrastructure to make acute mental health care safer, more data-driven, and more humane. Experience includes AI data and modeling workflows as a SME, systems engineering, and research commercialization work within technology transfer settings. Led multidisciplinary technical projects spanning analytics, documentation, and system design.
THE PROBLEM I'M SOLVING
Acute psychiatric escalation (agitation, self-harm, violence) is often detected too late, leading to traumatic restrictive interventions that harm patients and strain nursing teams. Current monitoring is intermittent, subjective, and reactive - we need continuous, data-driven, nurse-centered systems.
WHAT I'M BUILDING
NeuriSight combines medical grade ambient physiological and behavioral monitoring, AI-based risk prediction modeling, and real-time clinical documentation into the first end-to-end platform designed for frontline psychiatric nurses - not just research prototypes, but tools nurses can actually use at the bedside.
CURRENT STAGE
Leading NIH R34 feasibility research proposal development as PI/PD (services research pilot targeting inpatient psychiatric units). Building clinical advisory relationships with psychiatric nursing experts at major hospital systems.
MY APPROACH
I translate complex clinical needs into executable technical roadmaps - balancing hardware, data, workflow constraints, and regulatory/commercialization pathways. Deep expertise in wearable sensor systems (BSEE, Electrical Engineering), applied AI/ML workflows, project management (PM), and business strategy (MBA, Business Administration & Management). I bridge rigorous research design and real-world care delivery.
