Professor David Clifton is the Royal Academy of Engineering Chair of Clinical Machine Learning at the University of Oxford’s Institute of Biomedical Engineering. He leads the Computational Health Informatics (CHI) Lab, focusing on AI-driven healthcare solutions with a strong emphasis on translational research in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). His work spans digital health technologies, medical imaging analysis, and AI ethics. Clifton holds multiple fellowships, including from the Alan Turing Institute and Fudan University.
Key affiliations include co-directorship of the Oxford-CityU Centre for Cardiovascular Engineering and involvement in the Wellcome Trust’s Flagship Centre in Vietnam. His research has been commercialized through spinouts like OBS Medical and Oxehealth. Notable projects include AI tools for non-invasive vital sign monitoring and pandemic response strategies using audio-based health data.
Clifton’s awards include the IEEE Early Career Award (2022) and the Vice-Chancellor’s Innovation Prize. His lab’s Suzhou branch focuses on open-source digital health research using public datasets. Current research themes include multimodal data integration, generative AI in healthcare, and equitable AI deployment across global health systems.
