Completed projects include Bronchiole research. His work extends to collaborative publications in journals like Gerontology and Geriatric Medicine , Neural Processing Letters , and Scientific Reports . Recent publications demonstrate interdisciplinary application of machine learning in health diagnostics, including oral health assessment, depression detection, and COPD classification. These studies leverage data from longitudinal aging cohorts to develop predictive models for clinical decision-making. Key research themes include: Machine learning applications in geriatric medicine Pharmacoepidemiology of anticholinergic medications Cardiovascular risk stratification in elderly populations Development of standardized health assessment tools His work contributes to the Swedish National study on Aging and Care (SNAC) and related initiatives through: Validation of clinical assessment tools Longitudinal health outcome analysis Population-level risk prediction models
