About Me.
|
My name is Karen Flores. I have graduated as a Medical Doctor, Computer Engineer, and Master of Science in Health Care Informatics. I have collaborated in the pharmaceutical research field in the evaluation and development of new models for testing the efficacy of drugs on neuronal ischemia. Additionally, I have collaborated on IoT research projects designing and developing a wireless modem for underwater data transmission for coral reef monitoring and biology research. I have taught the following pre-graduate courses at the Faculty of Medicine: Development Biology and Pharmacology. And I have collaborated on a couple of research publications. Currently, I am an Architect, where I lead the design and development of various projects on cloud environments for IoT and Big Data applications.
As a physician, I have always thought that health care delivery can be improved by implementing techniques and technologies that have originated from information technology. As a Computer Engineer, I have found that the constant, rapid evolution in technology allows this field to provide feasibly and cost-effective solutions to problems that seemed difficult or impossible to solve at one point. The delivery of affordable, high-quality healthcare services is a very complex problem influenced by many factors within and outside the scope of healthcare delivery. Therefore, to deliver high-quality health care, it is necessary to innovate the way health care is being provided. As a result, my goal is to become a physician that applies Information Technology in designing, developing, and implementing feasible, cost-effective solutions that guarantee high-quality health care delivery. The contents displayed on this portfolio demonstrate different implementations of Information Technology for healthcare applications. EDUCATION
