Hari Eswaran, PhD

Director
 

Hari Eswaran received a Bachelor of Science and a Master of Science from the University of Delhi, India, a Master of Science from the University of Mississippi and doctorate from the University of Arkansas at Little Rock. He is currently a professor and director of research with the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology and the Institute for Digital Health & Innovation, the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences (UAMS). Funded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) for the past 18 years, Dr. Eswaran’s area of research focuses on biomedical instrumentation with special emphasis on fetal and maternal monitoring during pregnancy. Over the years, he has undertaken several non-invasive fetal monitoring studies and has published over 100 papers in these areas. He has served on several NIH review panels and, at present, is a standing member of the NIH Biocomputing and Health Informatics panel. He is also the international telemedicine coordinator at the Institute for Digital Health & Innovation at UAMS. Dr. Eswaran has organized various workshops in schools of technology, medicine, and nursing including joint Indo-U.S. telemedicine collaborations, some of which the former President of India, Dr. APJ Kalam, launched. He has been part of several scientific committees and advisory boards related to global and rural health programs including the national Society for Education and Advancement in Research in Connected Health (SEARCH). He is currently an interdisciplinary research fellow at a national leadership program supported by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF) to equip teams of researchers and on-the-ground change agents with advanced leadership skills and a clear focus on health and equity, allowing them to apply health research and policy to meet the pressing needs of communities. Currently, Dr. Eswaran leads the South Central Telehealth Resource Center, one of just 14 federally-designated Telehealth Resource Centers located across the nation.
