Jonathan Chen is an instructor in the Stanford Department of Medicine. His research interests focus on data-mining electronic medical records for insights to inform medical decision making. He completed his VA Research Fellowship in Medical Informatics in 2015 and completed clinical training withing Stanford Internal Medicine residency program in 2014.

Chen’s broader interests are to apply similar concepts towards advanced clinical decision support systems to support precision medicine in the “big data” era of electronic medical records. He is currently focused on automated data-mining for clinical decision support, analogous to Netflix or Amazon’s “Customer’s who bought A also bought B” recommender systems.

With the support of a five year NIH Big Data 2 Knowledge K01 Career Development Award, Chen is working to develop an approach to systematically extract and disseminate the undocumented collective wisdom of practicing clinicians, translating endpoint clinical data into a reproducible and executable form of expertise.
