Hossein Estiri works on environmental health informatics and on temporal machine learning for electronic health records. His group at Massachusetts General Hospital builds methods that link measures of the environment to longitudinal clinical data at the scale of national networks.
In the Confluence Projects, he co-developed GridEX with Chirag Patel and Pedram Fard. He leads the linkage of GridEX to clinical records, including the shared electronic health record of OCHIN’s national network of community health centers. His roles as principal investigator include the National Institute on Aging award on extreme heat and cold in aging (RF1AG074372, continued as R01AG074372) and the Community CATALYST Center with OCHIN (P20MD019799).
He has led multisite studies in the ENACT and PCORnet networks. The IMIA Yearbook of Medical Informatics has twice selected his work as a best paper in clinical research informatics.
