Professor Lorainne Tudor Car, MD PhD MSc (LSE), is Professor of Digital Health at King’s College London and Inkfish Principal Medical Research Scientist within the EMBRACE (Enhanced Maternal and Baby Results with AI-supported Care and Empowerment) research programme. EMBRACE aims to improve maternal, child, and lifelong health through personalised, human-AI interventions.

Her current research focuses on the design and evaluation of digital health interventions using large language models, generative AI, and multimodal data from wearables and sensors. She draws on behaviour change science, user-centred design, and robust evaluation frameworks to support real-world adoption, and contributes methodological work that strengthens digital health evidence and advances digital health professions education. Her research spans digital health (e.g., conversational agents for diabetes prevention), health data science (including the Global Burden of Disease programme), and digital health professions education (e.g., mobile learning for medical students). Her work addresses maternal and child health, mental health, chronic disease management, and global health.

Professor Tudor Car has published over 140 peer-reviewed papers (over 80,000 citations), including in The Lancet, Nature, The Lancet Healthy Longevity, and the Journal of Medical Internet Research, and her work is referenced in national and international policy reports. A physician-methodologist, she has deep expertise across interventional studies, mixed-methods and qualitative research, and evidence synthesis that informs WHO guidance and broader policy. She serves on the editorial boards of BMJ Evidence-Based Medicine and JMIR Medical Education. She has held academic and research roles across Asia, Europe, the US, and the UK, including with the WHO Collaborating Centre for Digital Health and Health Education; LKCMedicine (Imperial College London-NTU Singapore); Imperial College London (including NIHR RDS); and Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health.

Following her medical degree, she completed a PhD in Public Health and an MSc in Health Economics, Policy and Management, and undertook postdoctoral fellowships at Imperial and Harvard. She is committed to education and mentorship, having designed curricula and supervised and supported researchers, clinicians, and multidisciplinary teams across career stages.

Professor Tudor Car welcomes expressions of interest from prospective PhD students in digital health and health data science, with a particular focus on personal AI health assistants, generative AI, and wearable devices in healthcare.
