Dr. Pratibha Sharma, an internationally recognized figure in biomedical engineering and a transformative voice in the field of congestive heart failure (CHF) research, has joined the South Asian Community Health Initiative (SACHI).
Dr. Sharma’s tenure at the University of Colorado at Boulder has yielded a portfolio of research that fundamentally changes how CHF is detected and managed. Her pioneering work integrates cutting-edge computational signal processing, wavelet analysis, and machine learning to uncover early warning signs of heart failure within complex electrocardiogram (ECG) and phonocardiogram data. This vital research enables the shift from crisis response to preventive intervention, improving outcomes for millions impacted by heart failure worldwide.

She joins SACHI after having developed state-of-the-art predictive algorithms for early CHF detection, led multidisciplinary teams to validate these models with clinical data and championed technology translation, resulting in adoption by medical device manufacturers.
Dr. Sharma has also authored highly cited publications and served as a thought leader for prestigious journals and conferences.
A key part of her work is the mentorship she provides to the next generation of the scientific community. She guides postgraduates, doctoral candidates, and fellow researchers, shaping a new cadre of scholars armed with advanced analytical skills and an ethos of collaborative, translational science.
Her guidance ensures that her mentees secure competitive research funding and publish influential studies, while building bridges across fields such as cardiology, data science, and biomedical engineering.
She also works to advance diversity and inclusion within biomedical research by supporting underrepresented scientists and equipping future leaders to translate innovation into tangible improvements in patient care and public health.
Dr. Sharma joins SACHI as a mentor, she will be tasked with providing expert guidance and vision to scientists and clinicians focused on South Asian health and global cardiovascular challenges.
Her leadership is dedicated to fostering multidisciplinary teams that strive for excellence and drive meaningful impact in healthcare. By nurturing emerging talent, she empowers individuals to make high-impact contributions in cardiac care and medical technology.
Dr. Sharma’s efforts are transforming heart failure prediction and management while inspiring and empowering the next generation of scientific leaders. Her blend of innovative research and committed mentorship establishes her as a key catalyst in advancing biomedical sciences and fostering healthier global communities.
