Overall Impact at IMO Health
At IMO Health, I managed a portfolio of AI-driven products that improved clinical data normalization, NLP accuracy, and large language model integration. My initiatives strengthened interoperability, reduced documentation burden, and ensured IMO’s products remained competitive in the healthcare AI market. By connecting clinical expertise with product strategy, I enabled IMO to expand its role as a leader in healthcare data quality and AI.

  • I managed Precision Normalize, a core product designed to map and normalize clinical terms across disparate data sources using NLP. This product ensured clinical data was accurate, standardized, and interoperable for downstream use.

    • Users: Health systems, payers, researchers, and product teams.

    • Use Cases: Mapping free-text clinical documentation to standard terminologies, improving interoperability across EHRs, and supporting downstream analytics.

    • Value I Brought:

      • Authored requirements and prioritized backlog items for NLP accuracy improvements.

      • Oversaw professional services projects for large healthcare organizations, ensuring customized deployment.

      • Strengthened product adoption and retention by aligning with client workflows and compliance needs.

  • I guided the development of the NLP Workbench, a user interface that provided customers visibility into NLP outputs, annotation workflows, and normalization results.

    • Value I Brought:

      • Delivered usability enhancements for clinicians and technical end users.

      • Partnered with UX and engineering to translate customer feedback into design changes.

      • Enabled more efficient NLP customization for customers.

  • I led initiatives to research, evaluate, and deploy large language models as part of IMO’s AI platform. These LLMs powered explainable clinical concept mapping and supported core product services such as Normalize and Knowledge Graph.
