Work with thought leaders and academic experts in epidemiology

Companies can greatly benefit from collaborating with academic researchers in the field of Epidemiology. These experts bring a wealth of knowledge and skills that can enhance various aspects of a company's operations. Here are some key ways companies can collaborate with Epidemiology researchers: 1. Research and Data Analysis: Epidemiologists can conduct research studies and analyze data to provide valuable insights into disease patterns, risk factors, and public health trends. This information can help companies make informed decisions and develop effective strategies. 2. Public Health Initiatives: Epidemiologists can contribute to the development and implementation of public health initiatives. They can provide expertise in designing and evaluating interventions, conducting surveillance, and monitoring disease outbreaks. 3. Risk Assessment and Management: Epidemiologists can assess and manage risks related to public health issues. They can identify potential hazards, evaluate the impact of interventions, and develop strategies to mitigate risks. 4. Policy Development: Epidemiologists can inform policy development by providing evidence-based recommendations. They can contribute to the development of guidelines, regulations, and interventions that promote public health and safety. 5. Collaboration and Partnerships: Epidemiologists can collaborate with companies to conduct joint research projects, share data and resources, and exchange knowledge. This collaboration can lead to innovative solutions and advancements in the field of Epidemiology.

About
Dr. Kim's program of research aims to identify, understand, and intervene upon the dimensions of psychological well-being (sense of purpose in life, optimism) that reduce the risk of age-related conditions. <br> Around this topic, he has given invited lectures at Universities (Harvard, U. of Penn, MIT, Columbia U.), corporations (UnitedHealth Care, IDEO, AARP, Samsung), and he’s also been invited to speak at and join the working groups of national- and international-think-tanks (United Nations, OECD, Aspen Ideas Festival, Chan Zuckerberg Initiative, The Task Force for Global Health, World Government Summit, National Academy of Sciences). He’s also been recognized as one of Forbe’s 30 Under 30 in Healthcare, recipient of the American Journal of Epidemiology's Paper of the Year Award, the American Psychological Association Division 20 (Aging) Early Career Achievement Award, and an Association for Psychological Science (APS) Rising Star. His insights have been featured in the: NY Times, Atlantic, BBC News, NPR, Washington Post. His research has been cited by policy statements/guidelines formulated by the: United Nations, National Academy of Sciences, American Heart Association, the U.S. Surgeon General. Population aging is one of the most important social trends of the 21st century. In both Canada and the U.S., the # of adults aged ≥65 is projected to increase by 45%-55% in the next 15 years. As societies grapple with the rising tide of chronic conditions, healthcare costs, and long-term care costs, it is imperative to develop a science that informs a more comprehensive approach to healthy aging. Dr. Kim’s overarching goal is to substantially help improve the psychological well-being and physical health of our rapidly growing population. In pursuit of this goal, his program of research revolves around 4 interwoven questions. He studies: 1) Several dimensions of psychological well-being (sense of purpose in life, optimism) and how they relate to health outcomes. 2) The behavioral, biological, and neural mechanisms underlying the association between psychological well-being and health. 3) How an individual’s psychological well-being interacts with the surrounding environment to influence behavioral and physical health outcomes; for example, at the meso-level (dyadic dynamics in couples, neighborhood contexts, altruism/volunteering) and the macro-level (social cohesion, social and racial disparities). 4) And he partners with non-profit/healthcare companies to conduct translational research that test scalable interventions.

Example epidemiology projects

How can companies collaborate more effectively with researchers, experts, and thought leaders to make progress on epidemiology?

COVID-19 Response and Preparedness

An Epidemiology expert can help companies develop strategies to respond to the COVID-19 pandemic. They can provide guidance on testing protocols, contact tracing, and vaccine distribution. By collaborating with an Epidemiologist, companies can ensure the safety of their employees and customers.

Healthcare Data Analysis

Epidemiologists can analyze healthcare data to identify patterns and trends. This analysis can help companies improve healthcare delivery, optimize resource allocation, and identify areas for improvement. By working with an Epidemiology researcher, companies can make data-driven decisions and enhance patient outcomes.

Environmental Risk Assessment

Companies operating in industries with potential environmental risks can benefit from collaborating with Epidemiologists. These experts can assess the impact of pollutants, evaluate exposure risks, and develop strategies to mitigate environmental health hazards. By partnering with an Epidemiology researcher, companies can ensure compliance with regulations and protect public health.

Outbreak Investigation and Response

During disease outbreaks, companies can collaborate with Epidemiologists to investigate the source of the outbreak, track its spread, and implement control measures. This collaboration can help companies minimize the impact of outbreaks, protect their workforce, and maintain business continuity.

Health Promotion and Disease Prevention

Epidemiologists can assist companies in designing and implementing health promotion programs and disease prevention strategies. By leveraging the expertise of Epidemiology researchers, companies can improve employee wellness, reduce healthcare costs, and enhance productivity.
