< Won First Place in the IMS Healthcare Challenge 2025 >
Theme of the Year: Proposing AI Solutions to Improve Primary Care in Canada.
Across Canada, physicians collectively lose 18.5 million hours every year to administrative tasks. This is equivalent to the full-time work of 7,502 physicians—time that could have been used to care for 55.6 million patients. The cost isn’t just wasted time. It’s delayed care, burnt-out doctors, and a strained healthcare system. But what if AI could handle the busy work, so that physicians can focus on medicine, not messages? This question became the starting point of our team's solution.
Solution: AI-overlay tool to manage EMR inbox 💎✨
My Contribution to the Team: ** Developed the brand story, including the name and logo, to clearly convey our identity and emphasize the solution. ** Designed a user persona—a family physician who already feels overwhelmed by managing administrative tasks and clearing the inbox, even before beginning patient care. ** Improved visual communication in the final deliverables.
Reflection: It was a great honour to collaborate with my team members, each of whom brought a unique perspective—from clinical research to business—fields I don’t often encounter in my MScBMC graduate studies. Their enthusiasm and expertise made tackling this challenge both inspiring and enriching. Presenting our pitch as if launching a startup was a unique and valuable experience, reinforcing the power of visual storytelling in effectively communicating ideas to an audience. This was my first time participating in a competitive pitch deck at IMS, and I was pleasantly surprised that many attendees recognized me and my program due to my ongoing contributions to magazine design. This experience has deepened my interest in the intersection of AI and the medical field. While AI is often viewed with caution, particularly regarding patient data ethics, I have come to realize how eager healthcare professionals are for innovation. I have witnessed how AI can create opportunities for more efficient care, and I now see it as a powerful tool that could transform healthcare delivery and eventually improve patient outcomes.

< Medical Visualization at Samsung Medical Center (Jun 2022-Aug 2023) >
During my year-long experience as a medical illustrator at Samsung Medical Center, I collaborated closely with surgeons to segment patient MRI/CT data and reconstruct detailed 3D anatomical models using Materialise Mimics and Blender. These models were integral to creating VR content that improved patients’ perioperative understanding and supported surgical simulations for preoperative planning. This hands-on work deepened my interest in developing interactive, patient-centered content that enhances medical communication and clinical decision-making.
