About

I’m a Medical Doctor from Barcelona, Spain. I’ve studied at the International University of Catalonia (Medicine), Harvard University (Neurobiology, Social Entrepreneurship), Singularity University at NASA Ames Research Center (Global Grand Challenges, FutureMed), and the United Nations Office in Geneva (Socio-Economic Development, SDG’s). I connected the dots between widespread shortages of the most basic health services, appalling levels of healthcare inequality, and the industry-changing promise offered to healthcare professionals by data science. I’m intensely driven to understand the world (both natural and social), and - much more importantly - to build a global project that creates a positive impact in it. I’m currently building MedBrain full-time, with a highly talented multi-disciplinary team 🌍. I’m passionate about discussing, learning and working towards advancing the following fields: 🔵 Healthcare Analytics 🔵 Likelihood Ratios / Pre & Post-Test Probability Estimation 🔵 Bayesian Inference 🔵 Data Science in Healthcare 🔵 Machine Learning in Healthcare 🔵 Evidence-Based Medicine 🔵 Evidence Generation & Evidence Management 🔵 Epidemiology & Biostatistics 🔵 Self-generated, on-demand Clinical Trials (they're coming soon). 🔵 Traditional and Decentralised Clinical Trials 🔵 Global Health 🔵 Digital Health / Telemedicine / EMR/EHR’s. 🔵 Healthcare Management & Healthcare Economics 🔵 WEF / United Nations / World Health Organization / SDG 3. 🔵 Clinical Navigators / Clinical Decision Support Systems.
