Biographical Sketch: Dr. Perzynski is Assistant Professor of Medicine and Sociology in the MetroHealth Department of Medicine at Case Western Reserve University. He is a sociologist specializing in medical sociology, life course studies, and research methods. His methodology expertise spans the continuum from ethnography to structural equation modelling. In 2014, he founded the nation's first Patient Centered Media Lab (http://pcmlab.org), focused on aligning the power of health technology innovation with patient values and preferences. Teams from this lab have produced award-winning software prototypes that combine primary care and public health data sources to place health risk information in the hands of patients, health care providers and public health officials. His recent work has combined data from public and community sources with data from the electronic health record to evaluate how social factors influence health behavior and health outcomes.
