My research is about creating systems to support collaboration in patient care and clinical research:

• Clinicians create and exchange information about their patients using semi-structured narrative documents: Electronic Notes (eNote).
• Clinicians on the wards communicate with librarians and automated agents using mobile devices and spoken language: Context-Initiated Question and Response (CIQR).
• Clinical research coordinators share information with each other and with investigators, adminstrators and sponsors to conduct clinical trials: InterTrial.
• Investigators establish collaborations, access services and share knowledge to conduct clinical and translational research: Clinical and Translational Research Award (CTSA).
• Scientists collect, access and exchange information about autism: Simons Foundation Autism Research Initiative (SFARI).
