My clinical area of expertise at BC Children's Hospital is in managing patients with atopic dermatitis, pigmented and vascular lesions. Currently, I have been funded by the Canadian Dermatology Foundation, Canadian Institute of Health Research, and Eczema Society of Canada, to validate diagnostic algorithms for atopic dermatitis patients accessing the healthcare system. With these diagnostic algorithms we are examining comorbidities and complications and the effects of treatment in atopic dermatitis patients. Also, currently we are using artificial intelligence methods to improve diagnostic performance of automated diagnosis of vascular and pigmented lesions.
