Julie Jung Hyun Lee
Clinical Assistant Professor, Medicine - Primary Care and Population Health
BioDr. Julie J. Lee is a Stanford physician board-certified in Internal Medicine, Obesity Medicine, and Clinical Informatics, whose work centers on two goals: (1) augmenting the human practice of medicine through technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI) and (2) advancing precision health through breakthroughs in obesity medicine.
In clinical informatics, Dr. Lee focuses on the responsible integration of technology into healthcare. Her work includes integrating prescription drug monitoring into the electronic health record, redesigning clinical decision support governance and patient-message triage, evaluating eConsults with Federally Qualified Health Centers, and co-developing inpatient continuous glucose monitoring policy across adult and pediatric care. Her work has received recognition from Stanford Health Care, the American College of Physicians, and the American Society of Addiction Medicine. She is particularly interested in how emerging technologies can augment and upskill clinicians while preserving clinical judgment and ensuring medical education evolves alongside technological change.
As Health Equity Informaticist in Stanford’s Division of Primary Care and Population Health, Dr. Lee combines data analysis with patient and clinician perspectives to inform strategy. Her More Than Words: Language, Culture, and Care initiative integrates clinical and operational data with community engagement to advance language-concordant care. She is also interested in building standardized data and reporting infrastructure to support clinical, operational, and divisional strategy across primary care innovation programs.
In obesity medicine, Dr. Lee focuses on Cardiovascular-Kidney-Metabolic (CKM) health and the broader implications of obesity science for cancer, inflammation, addiction, and longevity. Her background spans epidemiology, cardiology, and women’s and reproductive health, including work with the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health on diabetes prevalence. As Clinical Champion of the Stanford Metabolic Health Interventions and Lifestyle Empowerment Support (SMILES) Program, she is interested in how primary care can integrate emerging therapeutics, technologies, and multidisciplinary care while advancing evidence for historically underserved and understudied populations, including Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander communities.
All of her work is grounded in health equity, ethics, and the medical humanities. As an artist and musician first, the humanities keep her connected to the joy of medicine and her philosophy that advances in science and technology should protect and preserve the essence of original human creativity. -
