At the bedside
As a house surgeon in Mangalore, I work with hospital teams on assessment, documentation, communication, and continuity of care.
Doctor / researcher / founder
Dr. Manu Faujdar
I am a house surgeon in Mangalore. My work begins with patient care and clinical teams, and extends into research, health technology, and software. I am interested in clear communication, useful evidence, and tools that work for the people who use them.
More about meWhat I pay attention to
02
Questions from care
My research writing takes up patient-reported consent gaps, surgical care, radiotherapy distress, and dialysis access.
03
Things I am building
I test early tools for privacy-aware AI and clinical measurement, including a local data gateway and a wound-surface research framework.
04
Research and evaluation
I turn broad questions into studyable questions, clear measures, and claims the evidence can carry.
Working notes
Questions I am using to connect clinical context, evidence, and reliable systems.
Patient experience
Why do some patients leave without telling us what they experienced?
A question about how care teams can hear concerns and respond after a visit.
Clinical AI
When should a clinical AI system say, “not here”?
A closer look at how a safe refusal can protect a clinician’s time, a patient’s safety, and the handoff when a case exceeds the model’s intended use.
What makes a problem worth pursuing
I am most interested in the point where a clinical, technical, or social problem is still rough—where a sharper question, a testable workflow, or a well-built prototype can change what becomes possible next.
The work I return to has real stakes, incomplete evidence, or a privacy boundary that deserves to be made visible.
