I am the founder and CEO of Patients Know Best and originally from Bahrain. I was trained as a physician at the University of Cambridge and worked as a staff scientist at the National Institutes of Health. I was a management consultant to US hospitals at The Advisory Board Company.

I am the author of seven books, including Personal health records: A guide for clinicians and Streamlining Hospital-Patient Communication: Developing High Impact Patient Portals.

I am moreover,  an honorary senior research associate at UCL medical school for his research on patient-controlled medical records. In 2012 I was elected an Ashoka Fellow as a social entrepreneur for the contributions he has made to patient care.

Here is some of my research activity:
