To further contribute to the advancement of the field, I hold the position of research topic coordinator for Frontiers in Digital Health Journal and serve as an editor for Frontiers Journal.

My contributions and dedication have been recognized through several awards from esteemed institutions. I have been honored by the National Elites Foundation and the Gifted and Talented Student Centre for my achievements in the field of Health Information Technology. Furthermore, I was the winner of the YTH (YOUTH + TECH + HEALTH) Live Global 2021 Scholarship Contest, sponsored by UNESCO, competing against talented young professionals from around the world.
