The research areas of interest for Bhavik N. Patel, M.D., M.B.A., include utilization of the latest in biomedical and computational technologies toward delivery of Artificial Intelligence (AI) enabled health care. This involves developing AI models, using traditional machine learning, natural language processing and deep learning to aid in diagnoses, future health risk prediction and therapy decision-making.

Dr. Patel focuses on developing AI models that either automate information contained within medical information, such as medical images or texts, or that extract biomarkers and features that are inherently embedded within such information but not so readily discernable by conventional methods. Through this research, collective use of the entire vast medical record for a given patient is utilized for optimal decision-making and guidance of care.
