Dr. DI CHEN
Dr. Di Chen is a Deputy Researcher and Director-level leader at the Rehabilitation Information Research Department of the China Rehabilitation Science Institute. His research centers on rehabilitation science, rehabilitation big data, and health informatics, with a particular emphasis on developing theoretical architectures and data governance models grounded in the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) framework.
Dr. Chen’s work systematically integrates ICF theory with data standardization methodologies to construct structured, interoperable rehabilitation data systems. He has led initiatives on rehabilitation electronic medical record (EMR) standardization, functional data modeling, metadata specification, and cross-institutional data interoperability. His research supports the development of national rehabilitation data infrastructures and contributes to evidence-based policy design for disability services and assistive technology innovation.
Bridging policy research, data science, and clinical rehabilitation practice, Dr. Chen actively advances the scientific foundations of rehabilitation informatics in China. His work promotes standardized functional assessment, rehabilitation data management, and intelligent applications of big data to improve rehabilitation quality, equity, and health outcomes.
