Current research interests include validation of a screening tool to identify adolescents requiring detailed medical evaluation, quality improvement strategies in child and adolescent health practices, and development of mobile applications for doctors, parents, and adolescents. He developed a tool that acts as a replacement of HEADS evaluation and reduces the time taken for this psychosocial evaluation and thus brings ease in adolescent medicine practice. Adolescents provide more information through this tool as compared to face-to-face interviews. His research related to informing about Sudden Death in Epilepsy (SUDEP) revealed that parents want care providers to talk about it and this counseling led to improvement in care of children and adolescents having epilepsy, and did not increase parental anxiety.  

He is currently focusing on improving the quality of undergraduate and postgraduate teaching and training in nearly 750 medical colleges in India.
