Research
My research focuses on the use of modern consumer health technology (such as Fitbits and Apple Watches) by clinicians in their practice. For my PhD, I interviewed clinicians about their experiences with these devices, and together we collaboratively designed a tool for using these patient-generated data in clinical practice.
