Where data science meets healthcare.
An artificial intelligence engineer specializing in data science and AI for healthcare, I lead cardiology AI projects at Akdital Innov, in an international collaboration with Long Island University (LIU) and Dassault Systèmes. My responsibilities cover framing needs with medical teams, designing and developing AI solutions, and evaluating them and preparing their integration into clinical settings.
With a master’s degree in Information Systems and Intelligent Systems from the National Institute of Statistics and Applied Economics (INSEA), I have built a path combining software development, business intelligence, data science and research applied to healthcare. In particular, I took part in a collaborative research project bringing together Henri-Mondor University Hospital in Créteil, through the clinical epidemiology and aging research laboratory (CEPIA) of the Mondor Institute for Biomedical Research (IMRB), and the interventional neuropsychology laboratory (NPI) of the École normale supérieure in Paris. This experience deepened my skills in data science, biostatistics and the analysis of clinical and neuroimaging data, in a multidisciplinary research setting.
My mission
Putting data and AI to work for patients and care teams, with reliable, understandable tools that truly support clinical decisions.
Data & AI
From raw clinical data to reliable models: quality, harmonization, deep learning and explainability.
Scientific research
Projects grounded in the state of the art, with results evaluated methodically.
Collaboration
A constant link between clinicians, technical teams and decision-makers.
Three degrees, one cross-functional view.

Cognitive impairment: risk factors and classification
- The problem
- Understated cognitive impairment (UCI) is hard to detect, and its risk factors are poorly understood.
- The solution
- Harmonized 35 clinical and neuropsychological datasets, ran multivariable analyses to identify risk factors, extracted brain markers from MRI and built a UCI / non-UCI classifier.
Tools and techniques
- STATA
- Biostatistics
- FreeSurfer
- MRI
- Random forest
Chronic disease prediction
- The problem
- Estimating the risk of diabetes, heart disease or Parkinson’s disease early, from a few medical measurements.
- The solution
- One machine-learning model per disease, available in a web app: users enter their data and get a risk estimate.
Tools and techniques
- Python
- Logistic regression
- Streamlit
- Heroku
Parapharmacy sales and inventory
- The problem
- Tracking demand and stock levels to make better restocking decisions.
- The solution
- A dashboard following sales and inventory trends, with pharmaceutical distribution KPIs defined to manage demand.

Student health and performance
- The problem
- Understanding how habits, study methods, personality and health affect the performance of INSEA students.
- The solution
- A survey studied through multiple correspondence analysis, then a prediction model deployed in a web app.
Tools and techniques
- R
- Multiple correspondence analysis
- Python

A scientific approach applied to AI.
In healthcare, the value of an artificial intelligence model goes beyond its predictive performance. It also rests on its reliability, its clinical relevance and its ability to inform medical decisions.
My method
- 01
Clinical question
Define the need with clinicians: which problem, for which patients, for which decision.
- 02
State of the art
Review the literature: clinical need, added value, existing evidence and real use cases.
- 03
Data
Ensure data quality, harmonization, anonymization and interoperability.
- 04
Modeling and evaluation
Choose the right approach for the problem, then evaluate its performance carefully.
- 05
Clinical feedback
Make results understandable and build clinician feedback into every iteration.

Leadership, built together.
Moving a cross-functional project forward
On the cardiology track, I helped coordinate the work between leadership, cardiologists, IT teams and partners, so we could move toward shared goals together.
Working hand in hand with clinicians
I start from the field: understanding cardiologists’ needs, translating them into data and technical requirements, then validating choices with them.
Across disciplines and countries
In Paris/Créteil, a multidisciplinary research team; in Casablanca, clinicians, engineers and decision-makers. I adapt how I communicate to each of them, to connect their expertise.

“My vision is to help build medicine where data and artificial intelligence strengthen the quality of care, support healthcare professionals in their decisions and help improve care pathways and hospital organization, while keeping clinical judgment at the center.”
