My research focus is in the field of biomedical communications. I utilize collaborative learning theories, user-centred design principles, information visualization and social media applications such as computer-mediated communication, wikis and Twitter as means to support dissemination of health care information. Other areas of expertise in health informatics include means of depicting credibility in web-based health content. I specialize in a variety of techniques to measure and evaluate the quality and performance of biomedical communication media including quantitative and qualitative measures as well as usability testing.
Fields of concentration
biomedical communication, health informatics, social media, evaluation, analytics, data, patient/provider relationship, decision making, collaborative learning, elearning, knowledge translation, information visualization, participatory design, HIV/AIDS, breast cancer
