The chance to share the newest artificial intelligence and healthcare research brought attendees from all over the globe to Orlando in early June for the 12th IEEE International Conference on Healthcare Informatics (ICHI 2024).
The very ambitious Miranda Reid, a student physician-scientist in the College of Medicine’s Department of Health Outcomes and Biomedical Informatics (HOBI) at the University of Florida, recently won one of this year’s four awards from the National Cancer Institute in support of implementation science.
The current UF doctoral graduate was rife with scientific curiosity as an undergrad, but he often struggled to channel his academic interests – from philosophy to neuroscience – into one field. That was, until he discovered the endlessly fascinating world of biomedical informatics.
Held for the first time in Malachowsky Hall, HOBI Education Day was a great success, and we appreciate the organizers and many graduate students who contributed. During the full-day event we enjoyed 5 research presentations, 2 shark tank pitches, and 15 posters, along with the mentoring workshop and keynote.
Graduates students, post-docs and early-career faculty interacted with their peers throughout Education Day.

Dima Bteddini, a dedicated Ph.D. student concentrating in Health Outcomes and Implementation Sciences, has been awarded a Certificate of Outstanding Merit by the UF International Center and College of Medicine.
The UF College of Medicine has honored two of our faculty members with a 2023 Exemplary Teacher Award. Within the department of Health Outcomes and Biomedical Informatics (HOBI), the winners are Stephanie Staras, Ph.D., and Jessica Ray, Ph.D.
Title: Neural Correlates of Mobility Impairments in Aging Adults. For his fellowship, Dr. Shah will use functional MRI to study brain activation patterns of walking. To do this, he will use a motor imagery protocol (imagined walking) that has demonstrated parallel neural substrates to physical task execution. He will compare…
Title: Efficacy of Balance Training with Visual Occlusions. Walking requires integration of sensory information, computational processing, and motor output response (referred hereafter as the neuromechanical components). Deficits in any of these neuromechanical components with aging can increase fall risk. To combat aging effects on mobility and reduce fall risk, researchers…
The TRAM program is committed to a culture that is supportive and respectful to all. We believe that scientists from various backgrounds, including those with disabilities, will enhance scientific inquiry to holistically meet our challenge of preserving mobility over the lifespan. We cultivate trainees to become leaders throughout their careers.
