I am Dr. Ramil Hashimli, MD, PhD, Assoc. Prof., an otorhinolaryngologist, phoniatrician and academic physician with over 25 years of clinical experience. My professional focus lies in voice disorders, phoniatrics, and outcomes-oriented clinical research, with particular interest in bridging clinical practice and data science.

I am the founder and developer of APDVoice, an AI-oriented structured data and analytics platform designed to transform routine ENT–phoniatric documentation into standardized, real-world evidence suitable for multi-center research and future artificial intelligence applications.

In addition to clinical practice, I am actively involved in undergraduate and postgraduate medical education and international scientific collaboration. My current work centers on digital transformation in voice care, structured clinical datasets, and the development of AI-ready infrastructure for precision phoniatrics.
