Capstone project: (Research paper and poster presentation)
Conducted a comprehensive research-based capstone project assessing the impact of Clinical Decision Support Systems (CDSs) on breast cancer care. Findings indicate that CDSs positively influence treatment quality by offering evidence-based recommendations, enhancing adherence to guidelines, and identifying patient symptoms and quality of life concerns. Leveraging decision-making and machine learning models, this project suggests that CDSs can potentially predict outcomes and optimize treatment choices, ultimately contributing to improved patient care in breast cancer management.
Telestroke project:
Under the guidance of Professor Christine Cooper, I successfully completed a Telestroke project as part of an academic examination, collaborating with a team of three members. This project involved obtaining real-time data from Griffin Hospital, and it encompassed a wide range of essential components, including project initiation, scope management, risk assessment and mitigation, strategic communication planning, assembly of a project team, meticulous timeline and budget development, thorough requirement analysis, efficient supply chain coordination, and the utilization of MS Project for creating detailed timelines. Moreover, I was responsible for defining project entities, structuring the work breakdown, establishing activity sequences, and implementing stringent project monitoring and control measures. The project was concluded with a meticulous project closure process, serving as a testament to my proficiency in comprehensive end-to-end project management.
