Dr Martin Seneviratne is a doctor-turned-data scientist, currently working at Google on AI applications in healthcare. Martin studied Physics and Medicine at the University of Sydney as part of the combined medicine program, graduating with the University Medal in Science in 2010 and First Class Honours in Medicine in 2014. During university, he developed an app to support task management across multidisciplinary clinical teams (WardConnect) and worked with the George Institute on an app for community cardiovascular screening (HealthNavigator). Later, while working as a junior doctor at Sydney's Royal Prince Alfred Hospital, he was elected as a board member of the Australasian Institute of Digital Health and joined the founding team of CancerAid - a digital health startup supporting cancer patients and their caregivers. The Sir John Monash Scholarship enabled Martin to pursue a Masters in Biomedical Informatics at Stanford in 2017 - a hybrid program bridging the Medicine and Computer Science faculties. At Stanford, Martin developed an expertise in AI for electronic health records, which led to a role as a Clinician Scientist at DeepMind Health (later Google Health) in 2019. Today, Martin works at Google in London on the future of electronic health records. His work spans applied AI research to help clinicians see trends and retrieve information amid the volume of patient data; and product-development work focusing on lightweight mobile EHRs for low resource settings. Martin was recognized with a Global Australian award by Advance in 2022, and in 2023 is Co-Chairing the World Congress on Health and Medical Informatics back in Sydney.
