Biography
Heterogeneity in phenotypes and multi-morbidity are common challenges in the management of chronic diseases. Dr Chen and her colleagues are interested in addressing the complexity of care and treatment in chronic diseases to ensure the sustainability of our healthcare system. Big health data such as electronic health records enable us to thoroughly investigate the complete picture of chronic conditions, health services use, medication pattern and outcomes of each individual in the population.
Dr Chen’s research program aims to apply big data analytics to generate cutting-edge evidence to support personalised, ‘systems’ care of chronic disease and multi-morbidity. She integrates principles of health economics, statistics and health policy, and use knowledge translation to empower policy and clinical decision making.
