Her PhD thesis “Designing an Algorithmically Enhanced National Health Service” developed a conceptual model for the deployment of algorithmic clinical decision support software into the UK’s National Health Service. More broadly, her research focuses on the ‘successful’ (socially acceptable, ethically justifiable, legally compliant, and technically feasible) use of health data for secondary purposes. In addition to her academic experience, Jess has more than ten years experience working in digital and data health policy, most recently as the AI subject matter expert for the UK Department of Health and Social Care and as the Director of Policy for Bennett Institute for Applied Data Science at the University of Oxford. As a consequence of these diverse experiences, Jess has more than 15 first-authored publications, many more co-authored publications, and was the lead researcher for the major review commissioned by the UK Government into the use of health data for research and analytics “Better, Broader, Safer.”
