Hao Luo is Assistant Professor at the University of Waterloo's School of Public Health Sciences with adjunct appointments at Uppsala University and the University of Hong Kong. His research leverages large-scale electronic health records to examine dementia, depression, multimorbidity, and frailty in aging populations.

Methodologically, his work applies epidemiological modeling, machine learning, and multinational data-linkage to identify risk factors, diagnostic patterns, and healthcare utilization trends. Current projects analyze comorbidity networks in severe mental illness and frailty identification algorithms using real-world data.

Publication output demonstrates consistent focus on psychotropic prescribing patterns, dementia prediction models, and pandemic impacts on mental healthcare. Multinational cohort studies provide comparative insights into aging trajectories and healthcare system responses.
