Emily Dube supports critical technology many New Yorkers rely on, from electronic health records in state psychiatric facilities to modernization projects in government.
“I found myself naturally in that position, almost like a translator between the technical side and the people who ultimately need to use the technology,” Dube says.
Dube came to technology through healthcare. She coordinated clinical research at NYU Langone Health while earning a master’s degree in biomedical informatics and then joined the New York State Technology Enterprise Corp. in 2021. At NYSTEC, she has analyzed data and quality initiatives for the state Office of Mental Health.
As her responsibilities grew, so did the challenges she was responsible for solving. Dube now helps lead multidisciplinary teams across several of the state Office of Mental Health’s major modernization efforts, including electronic health records, application modernization and the health information exchange.
On the electronic health record project, her teams tackle data quality, project management, organizational change and implementation readiness. The goal is practical: help clinicians find the information they need and document care without having to navigate outdated technology.
In New York City, Dube has been supporting projects with the city Department of Health and Mental Hygiene and the Housing Development Corp. while building relationships across city government.
“I’ve always had a natural curiosity about how things work and, more importantly, why they work the way they do,” Dube says.
Her career has increasingly put her in a position to answer another question: how to make those systems work for the people relying on them.
