Jason Fries

Assistant Professor @ Stanford University

About

I'm an AI researcher at the intersection of computer science, medical informatics, and hospital systems, focused on training and evaluating foundation models for healthcare. My work leverages longitudinal electronic health record (EHR) data to ground our research in real-world clinical contexts and develop standardized evaluation benchmarks. With private models and data-sharing limitations impeding reproducibility, I've helped release novel EHR datasets (INSPECT, EHRSHOT, MedAlign, FactEHR) and made our foundation models available via Hugging Face.
