John Meddar

John Meddar is a postdoctoral scholar-fellow in the Department of Biomedical Informatics and Medical Education. John earned his PhD from New York University in population health, his master’s degree from Cornell University in health informatics and a bachelor’s degree from New York City College of Technology in biomedical informatics. His research focus rests principally, though not exclusively, at the intersection of digital health, informatics, and epidemiology, with a particular focus on digital health utilization and its implications on clinical outcomes. He has a diverse range of interests in informatics-based and digital health research, including elucidating and characterizing evolving patterns of technology use within and across healthcare delivery systems, assessing associated factors of technology use at multiple socio-ecological levels of influence, characterizing gaps in access and use among patient groups disproportionately impacted by digital inequities, and improve the mechanistic processes by which social determinants of health are adequately integrated and adjudicated at the health system level.
