Madelyn R. Frumkin, PhD
Assistant Professor of Biomedical Data Science and Psychiatry, Geisel School of Medicine at Dartmouth
Madelyn (Maddy) Frumkin is an assistant professor in the departments of Biomedical Data Science and Psychiatry within the Center for Technology and Behavioral Health and the Postdoctoral Director of the Center’s NIDA T32 Science of Co-Occurring Disorders training program. Dr. Frumkin earned her PhD in clinical psychology with a specialization in longitudinal and time-series data analysis. Her research leverages digital technology to improve prediction, understanding, and prevention of chronic pain and co-occurring problems, especially substance use and mental health disorders. Much of her ongoing work focuses on preventing chronic pain and risky opioid use after surgery. She is currently PI of three pilot projects related to digital monitoring to improve prediction and understanding of acute-to-chronic pain transitions among patients undergoing breast cancer surgery (funded by the American Cancer Society), development of a digital health ecosystem for patients undergoing breast cancer treatment (funded by Friends of the Dartmouth Cancer Center), and user-centered design of an app-based cognitive-behavioral intervention to reduce persistent opioid use after spine surgery (funded by the CTBH P30 pilot core).
Outside of work, Dr. Frumkin enjoys cooking, running, hiking, and a healthy dose of reality TV.
