معرفی
Jose Florez-Arango is a Colombian physician and Associate Professor at the Graduate School of Medical Sciences, Weill Cornell Medicine, with over 20 years of experience as a clinician, educator, and researcher. His work focuses on human factors and technology-human interaction to improve healthcare outcomes in resource-constrained environments, positioning him as a thought leader in Latin American telemedicine.
His research spans Health Informatics, Human-Computer Interaction, and Human Factors Engineering, emphasizing minimal-code solutions for clinical decision support, knowledge transfer, and workload reduction. Key areas include telemedicine implementation, visual knowledge representation, personalized health tools, and curricular innovation for 21st-century healthcare providers, utilizing methodologies like community-based research and participatory design.
Publications reveal a trend toward immersive simulations (VR for obstetrics training), NLP-driven maternal health analytics, mobile mental health screening in global contexts (e.g., Fiji), and XML-based decision support systems—all targeting low-resource settings and provider-patient experience enhancement.
