Resume/CV

Jill Inderstrodt, an assistant professor of health and policy management at the IU Richard M. Fairbanks School of Public Health, is a leader in the field of maternal and child health informatics. Her projects use medical record data to advance our understanding of maternal and child health.

The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention funds most of her surveillance work aimed at stillbirth, neonatal abstinence syndrome, congenital heart defects and pregnancy-related vaccine safety. She serves as investigator on projects in collaboration with the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs and the City of Indianapolis.

Inderstrodt is co-principal investigator of IU BARE, Indiana University Better AI for a Strong Rural Maternal and Child Health Environment Lab, which is funded by the National Institutes of Health’s AIM-AHEAD Consortium to enhance institutional AI readiness. The lab uses machine learning models developed alongside mentor Kedir Turi as an AIM-AHEAD Research Fellow to pilot a predictive AI tool to identify cardiometabolic complications during pregnancy for use in obstetric deserts.

“Every mom deserves the pregnancy, birth and infancy they want for themselves and their baby,” she said. She uses data every day to work toward this goal.
