Implementation Science
for Better Healthcare
Department of Primary Care Medicine · Faculty of Medicine, Universiti Malaya
Bridging the gap between research evidence and clinical practice in Malaysia and the Asia-Pacific. My work applies implementation and behavioural sciences to embed evidence-based interventions into real-world healthcare - from patient decision aids in primary care to digital health education. Emerging research interests include the application of artificial intelligence in mental health and primary care settings.
