A portfolio of research programmes and clinical tools.

  1. A smartwatch on a person's wrist, against a blurred warm indoor background. The screen shows a dark face ringed in orange, carrying a card that reads 'Elevated Risk' with 'Consult Asthma Plan' under it. The time reads 10:09 AM. The band is navy blue.

    DIGIPREDICT

    An asthma-prediction programme and University of Auckland spin-out, with a public website, two explainer films, and a co-design tool setting out how the app shows a person their risk. The site is live and both films run on it.

  2. A claymation nurse in a green polo shirt with a silver fern pin, seated and turned slightly towards camera, one hand open mid-gesture, as if mid-sentence. Sculpted clay texture shows on her face and sleeves. She sits to the left of frame against a plain warm-grey background.

    Asthma New Zealand

    Three explainer videos for Asthma New Zealand: how the airways work, what sets asthma off, and what its registered nurses do. Claymation carries the people. The systems are flat 2D, and the airway itself is built in photoreal 3D.

    Two videos delivered · a third in final revision

  3. Streaks of blue and white light rush down a dark tunnel towards a small glowing ring in the distance, with points of light scattered along their length. The image is abstract.

    Probentis

    A brand film and an investor-facing website for a University of Auckland Photon Factory spin-out. Its optical probe reads the biochemical fingerprint of tissue. The probe is validated for ex-vivo analysis of biopsy cores. Detecting cancer inside the body is a different use, still in trial and not yet validated.

  4. At-a-glance figure: 1 in 11 after surgery, 1 in 7 after trauma develop persistent opioid use, with a 6.6× downstream mortality multiplier in surgical patients and 2.8× in trauma patients.

    Persistent opioid use after surgery and trauma

    A national cohort showing that 1 in 11 people develop persistent opioid use after surgery and 1 in 7 after trauma, and that it carries real downstream harm.

  5. Editorial figure: a literacy column on the left showing three named AI tools (Claude, Perplexity, and custom skills) with their use cases, alongside a four-step skill chain on the right covering clinical question, cited literature, voice-preserving draft, and human ownership.

    AI in research and teaching

    AI literacy in clinical academia: opinionated tool choice, AI-inclusive assessments built from the inside, and composable skills with the author still in charge of the argument.

  6. Editorial figure: two columns. On the left, two audit chips covering missing-data and contradiction checks. On the right, three triage bands covering Urgent, Routine (highlighted), and Not accepted.

    AI-assisted colonoscopy triage tool

    A clinical tool that reads a colonoscopy referral letter and applies New Zealand's national triage guidelines, closing the gap between primary care and the specialist inbox.

  7. Editorial treatment map: a central asthma node connected to five established treatments in emerald (inhaled steroids, reliever inhalers, long-acting inhalers, biologics, steroid tablets) and one repurposed candidate in clay (metformin, marked as under study).
    Research

    Metformin in asthma: Cochrane review and emulated trial

    A Cochrane review of an old diabetes medicine as a possible treatment for asthma, paired with an emulated-trial analysis to extract causal answers from real-world data.

  8. Editorial figure: concentric care rings centred on the patient, with pharmacy and general practice as the immediate ring, acute care and emergency as the next ring, and hospital and specialist services as the outer ring.
