Overview

Meghan Reading Turchioe’s program of research focuses on developing and implementing digital health technologies including mobile applications, wearable devices, telehealth, and artificial intelligence (AI). A major focus of her work involves leveraging methods from data visualization, human-computer interaction, and implementation science to return health data and support decision-making among patients, nurses, and other clinicians. With a focus on developing equitable solutions, her research is motivated by her experience as a cardiac nurse caring for a diverse patient population with multiple chronic conditions in New York City. Turchioe’s research is supported by multiple grants from NIH and industry. 

Turchioe serves on several committees through the American Heart Association (AHA) and American Medical Informatics Association (AMIA), including the AHA National Atrial Fibrillation Systems of Care Advisory Group Commission and the Editorial Board of the Journal of the American Medical Informatics Association. Turchioe also serves on the National Quality Forum Artificial Intelligence in Quality Measures Technical Expert Panel.
