Madelyn R. Frumkin

Madelyn R. Frumkin is an Assistant Professor in Biomedical Data Science and Psychiatry at the Geisel School of Medicine, Dartmouth College. She holds dual appointments in the Center for Technology and Behavioral Health and the departments of Biomedical Data Science and Psychiatry. With a PhD in Clinical Psychology from Washington University in St. Louis and a Clinical Fellowship at Massachusetts General Hospital/Harvard Medical School, Dr. Frumkin specializes in leveraging mobile and wearable technologies to study mental and physical health dynamics.

Her research focuses on predicting chronic pain, mental health, and substance use outcomes post-surgery, developing personalized digital interventions, and integrating technology into healthcare. Key areas include:

• Dynamic modeling of pain-affect interactions
• Preoperative patient risk stratification using mobile health data
• Ecological momentary assessment methodologies

Funded by NIH and professional organizations, her work emphasizes translational applications. She collaborates with neurosurgeons, psychologists, and engineers to advance precision health solutions. Dr. Frumkin also actively contributes to methodological advancements in idiographic modeling and clinical scale development.

Her recent studies demonstrate mobile health's potential to improve spine surgery outcome predictions and reevaluate pre-surgical depression assessments. Ongoing efforts aim to create accessible, evidence-based digital tools to reduce mental health stigma and enhance intervention accessibility across diverse populations.
