Biography

Professional Background

Dr. Hasselberg is an ANCC Board-Certified Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner. He received his PhD degree in Health Practice Research from the University of Rochester School of Nursing in 2013 and is a graduate of The Academy for Healthcare Leadership Advancement through the Healthcare Association of New York State and Cornell University. Dr. Hasselberg is currently a Robert Wood Johnson Foundation Clinical Scholar Fellow. He founded the UR Medicine Telepsychiatry program and Project ECHO®, which leverages technology to provide health care at a distance within rural hospitals, primary care practices, and skilled nursing facilities. He is the Chief Digital Health Officer for UR Medicine and is also the Co-director of the UR Medicine Health Lab, a space in which our University’s best thinkers collaborate to create digital products that transform healthcare delivery. Dr. Hasselberg has served as an expert advisor to the Department of Health & Human Services, the National Quality Forum, New York State Department of Health and multiple health systems across the United States on digital health innovation.

Research

New data streams and technological advances provide unprecedented insight into behaviors and disease. In his early research career, Dr. Hasselberg investigated the use of novel remote monitoring technology to study circadian rhythm dysfunction in Alzheimer’s disease. In 2014, he was funded to bring the first Project ECHO® (Extension for Community Healthcare Outcomes) teleconsultation program to New York State and has been a driver to the dissemination of the model across the State. He has researched the cost-effectiveness of teleconsultation and has served on the Department of Health & Human Services Technical Expert Panel for the ECHO ACT. Building off of Project ECHO, Dr. Hasselberg has developed several telehealth models, which have been replicated throughout the United States. In his role as the Co-director of the UR Health Lab, he has secured grant funding to further transform care delivery through the use of web-based chat bot applications, smartphone mobile applications, virtual and augmented reality technologies, and the use of artificial intelligence in the electronic health record.
