AboutAbout the lab
Supporting underserved regions through digital health.
The Ashir Lab researches and develops digital health to make healthcare easier to access, and to improve outcomes, in regions where healthcare is hard to reach.
Through AI, digital twins, lifelong medical records, standardization of electronic health records (EHR), health risk prediction, and more, the lab aims for a data-driven healthcare system in which everyone in the world can receive care.
Some research projects are carried out in collaboration with Grameen Communications in Bangladesh.
The lab's website introduces it under the name "SocialTech Lab."

The lab researches technologies for delivering healthcare services even to people in regions far from medical institutions. Centered on the Portable Health Clinic, it works on digitizing and visualizing medical data and on supporting individualized decision-making with AI.
*Illustrative imageTechnology for a clinic that can be carried anywhere
The lab develops the core technology of the Portable Health Clinic. It can be carried and set up anywhere, and is being used on a trial basis in several countries in Asia and Africa.
*Illustrative imageDigitizing paper medical records
This research converts handwritten and paper medical records into a standard format to create unified electronic health records. It aims for a scalable method that makes storage, search, and analysis easier.
*Illustrative imageVisualizing medical data
The lab studies ways to present medical data clearly in diagrams. This lets healthcare workers and policymakers quickly read complex health trends and lead to early responses and decisions.
*Illustrative imagePersonalized triage
The lab analyzes checkup data from the Portable Health Clinic with explainable AI. It aims to identify individual risk factors and support triage decisions suited to each person's health condition.
