Health Informatics Equity

The goal of my work is to centre the human experiences and values to improve equity and thoughtful, meaningful, and inclusive technology use in healthcare. 

 

My work is interdisciplinary and underpinned by critical theories and implementation science. A key aim in my research is to ensure meaningful inclusion of non-dominant groups in the conceptualization, design, development, and implementation of health technologies in health systems. 

 

I have expertise in mixed methods, participatory, and co-production approaches, HCI, and employing critical perspectives throughout the technology lifecycle: from conceptualization to evaluation and refinement. I have experience with various aspects of health information technology in health systems and nursing, including nursing informatics competencies, usability research, person-centered design and development, rapid and exploratory prototyping, and technology adoption and usage.
