Nathalie Conrad


I am an engineer with a passion for large-scale healthcare data analysis. I am currently enrolled as a PhD student at the George Institute for Global Health, Medical Sciences Division, University of Oxford, and I am supported by a scholarship from the British Heart Foundation. My research investigates the epidemiology of heart failure using large real-world data sets, such as anonymized electronic health records. I am particularly interested in investigating how sex and socio-economic differences impact disease incidence, care delivery and outcomes. Another of my research interest is digital health systems. Prior to engaging in my PhD, I have been working on the design of a home monitoring and clinical decision support system for patients with heart failure, and its assessment as part of a randomized control trial. I have a broad expertise in information technology and healthcare from my previous work experience at IBM, Johnson & Johnson Medical as well as a United Nations Agency. I hold an engineering master’s degree from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETH) Zurich.
My research interests include:
  • Epidemiology
  • Large scale data analysis
  • Digital health
  • Healthcare data visualisation
  • Cardiovascular diseases
