Good health and care increasingly depend on person-centred implementation of evidence-based technologies. I conduct research at the intersection of psychology, healthcare and technology, to understand the cycle of technological innovation, from bench to bedside and back again.
As an EU-funded Marie Sklodowska-Curie Fellow, my current research concerns the evaluation of technologies for improving psychosocial wellbeing (social health) of community-dwelling people with dementia. I am responsible for carrying out the FindMyApps study, which is the world's largest randomized controlled trial of a technological intervention for social health in dementia. This is a mixed methods study, in which we collect qualitative and quantitative data in order to achieve three research objectives: main effects analyses; cost-effectiveness analyses; and implementation research in the form of a process evaluation (in line with UK MRC guidelines).
In addition to my research, I am grateful to also grasp many teaching opportunities. I supervise master student dissertations in subjects including psychology and clinical medicine, amongst others and deliver lectures on dementia and society. I also supervise multidisciplinary groups of students from Saxion University of Applied Sciences as part of their Smart Solutions Semester.
In previous roles I have worked on:
