Did you know that the U.S. healthcare system is responsible for 10% of national greenhouse gas emissions? Learn how a pediatrician trained in landscape architecture is using clinical informatics and design to address the health impacts of climate change.
Chethan Sarabu, MD trained in landscape architecture, pediatrics, and clinical informatics builds anastomoses across these fields to design healthier environments and systems. He is a Clinical Assistant Professor of Pediatrics at Stanford Medicine, Director of Clinical Informatics at Sharecare. Across these roles, he works on designing and implementing a wide array of innovations ranging from patient portals, EHR transformation, virtual clinical trials, and A.I. driven digital biomarkers, to health information policy initiatives all through a lens of health equity and patient privacy. Drawing on his background in landscape architecture, Chethan implements and researches nature based health solutions such as the health benefits of urban green and blue spaces and Park prescriptions with the Stanford OurVoice and Natural Capital teams. Finally, he is shaping the emergent field of climate health informatics, which brings together emergency preparedness, sustainability, and environmental health, with a technology framework for climate health adaptation and mitigation.
