Using Data and Technology to Innovate Healthcare and Empower Our Communities

RIDE (Research in Informatics, Data integration and Emerging technologies) is the newest research team within the Department of Population Medicine’s TIDE division, launched in the Summer of 2023. The vision of RIDE is to build an internationally recognized program that utilizes cutting-edge innovations in Health IT to improve how epidemiologists, researchers, clinicians and other healthcare workers share, use, and understand health-related data. The overarching goal of RIDE is to facilitate population health research by leveraging existing data resources and harnessing emerging technologies. The RIDE team also helps to maintain and enhance the Sentinel Operations Center’s data infrastructure and works closely with the other divisions within HPHCI to build partnerships, innovate existing projects, and serve as technology Subject Matter Experts for new proposals.

The RIDE division is led by Anjum Khurshid, MD, PhD, a Member of the Faculty at Harvard Medical School and the Chief Data Scientist for the Sentinel Operations Center. Projects within RIDE are described in greater detail on the “RIDE Research” page, grouped into three categories: Informatics, Integration, and Innovations.
