I turn clinical questions into published evidence
Most projects stall in the hand-offs: between the clinician and the statistician, the author and the editor, the researcher and the IT person. I work across all of those seats, so your study, your journal or your workflow gets finished, not forwarded.
One professional, six seats at the table.
PhD-qualified physiotherapist, former Assistant Professor, now Director of Academics & Research and Deputy Director ORIC at Link Medical Interface, journal publisher and automation builder. The value is not any single title. It is that the same person who designs your trial can analyse it, get it through peer review, run the journal it appears in, and automate the paperwork around it.
Clinician first
17+ years treating neurological and musculoskeletal patients. I know what an outcome measure feels like in a clinic, not just in a dataset.
Numbers with meaning
Trial analysis, meta-analysis and reporting in one framework: effect sizes, confidence intervals and clinical interpretation, never a bare p-value.
Builder of systems
Five journals, a publishing policy framework, a 287-event CPD programme, an institutional QA system and dozens of automations: built, not just advised on.
Where research projects stall
A typical study passes through five people. Every hand-off between them is where files go missing, assumptions change and months disappear.
Find the right service in twenty seconds.
Two taps, no forms. You get the one service that fits, and a direct line to discuss it.
Seven services, three divisions, one accountable person.
Every engagement has a written scope, a timeline and reproducible deliverables. Indexing, acceptance, clinical outcomes and statistical significance are never guaranteed. Rigour is.
Where each service sits in the research cycle
A clinical question becomes a protocol, a dataset, a manuscript, a published article and, eventually, part of a meta-analysis that raises the next question. Each service is one station on that loop; automation runs underneath all of them. Tap a station to read the service.

AI-assisted clinical intelligence
AI-assisted complex case review & second opinion
Clinician-led review of complex rehabilitation cases using structured reasoning and AI-assisted literature synthesis, mapping how diagnoses, investigations, comorbidities, medications and function interact.
Levels and safeguards
- Integrated case analysis: evidence-supported summary of findings and uncertainties
- Collaborative second opinion: review of existing assessment and management
- Case-conference support: dossier for multidisciplinary discussion
- Within physiotherapy scope, licensing, consent and data-protection rules; diagnosis and prescribing stay with licensed collaborators; AI supports, never decides
Safeguards, not slogans
AI output is checked by a licensed clinician before anything reaches a patient file. Every case review states what is known, what is uncertain and what would change the picture.

Published, and publishing.
Publisher, Link Medical Interface: editorial governance, uniform publication policies, Crossref DOI operations, OJS infrastructure and indexing pathways for five journals.
The publishing infrastructure behind every journal
The same five-stage pipeline is what a journal quality and indexing audit (Service 01) checks, stage by stage.
Methods and machines, in layers.
From the ethics approval at the bottom to the automation on top, each layer is a set of tools I actually work in. The stack is why one person can carry a project end to end.
Research. Care. Creativity.
Patient-facing physiotherapy education in Urdu and, because every scientist needs a studio, AI-assisted music generation with original Urdu and Punjabi lyrics.
Physiotherapy and patient education
Plain-language explanations of pain, rehabilitation and movement for patients and families, plus content for professionals.
WatchMusic generation and lyric writing
Ghazal, nazm and Punjabi folk forms, written and produced with generative tools. Research by day, rhythm by night.

Consultancy services are delivered within professional scope and applicable licensing, consent and data-protection requirements. Journal indexing, manuscript acceptance, clinical outcomes and statistical results are never guaranteed. AI tools are used as decision support with clinician verification, never as autonomous clinical decision-makers. The scoping-consultation fee is payable in advance; payment details are shared on booking.
