Bio
Dina Tbaishat, PhD, UK graduate – HEA Fellow, Global Academy for Digital Health Fellow. After 7 years teaching at University of Jordan, Dina is currently teaching at Zayed University - College of Technological Innovation. Amongst the teaching staff of the 1st MSc in Cancer Care Informatics taught and research programme run by King Hussein Cancer Center (KHCC) and the University of Jordan, with input from University of the West of England, Bristol, UK. Following research in business process modelling Dina has been active researcher in digital health with research and development in Cancer Care Informatics. In keeping up with the accelerating transition to a successful digital organisation within a digital culture, Dina attended the Digital Innovation and Transformation programme delivered by Judge Business School - University of Cambridge, to help create digital solutions in various contexts, and provide digital services and platform ecosystems, guided by a strategy aimed at scaling up innovation. As for recent research work, Dina investigated the use of machine learning for generating ontological bioethics topics, medical diagnosis and feature selection. During the first two years of service at Zayed University, Dina obtained three grants as principal investigator; the Start-Up fund and the Research Incentive Fund, leading projects of medical diagnosis and fraud detection in medical claims using deep learning techniques, and the Social Innovation fund leading a project on changing Emirati women mindset through reading.
