About Hussein

I help health brands, publications, and digital health companies turn complex science into content people actually read, trust, and use.

I'm a health writer and science communicator with a PhD in AI & Data Science for Healthcare Research, and a growing health newsletter of over 9,500 subscribers. I also post regular content on Threads (89,000 followers) and Medium (6,300 followers).

I've spent years translating dense research into plain English — first for myself, then for an audience that keeps coming back because the science is real and the writing is human.

What makes me different: I don't just write about health. I research it at PhD level, live it, and have built an audience around making it accessible. That means you get content that is scientifically accurate, credible enough to stand behind, and written in a way that doesn't make people's eyes glaze over.

I typically work on health articles and blog posts, science-backed newsletters and email content, research summaries and fact-checking, wellness program content and educational guides, and data science projects in healthcare when the fit is right.

If you need health content that holds up to scrutiny and actually connects with readers — that's exactly what I do.

    I used AI & Data Science to predict the relapse of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. Chemotherapy is effective for this kind of cancer but up to 50% of patients suffer from a relapse. An accurate prediction allows for making adjustments to the therapy in a way that improves the patient outcome.
