Research

My program of research is focused on the timely detection of health changes using technology to support “precision health monitoring” to achieve quality and safety of care. The context of my program of research is health technology across care settings and the subject is older adults with complex and acute care needs. My research line of inquiry is integrating technology to support “precision health monitoring” involving four primary areas: Area 1: Timely and Accurate Detection of Acute Myocardial Ischemia/Infarction and ArrhythmiasArea 2: Integrate Human Factors Principles to Improve the Human-Technology Interface and Safe Use of Precision Monitoring TechnologyArea 3. Sensor-Based Precision Health MonitoringArea 4: Leverage Genetic Technologies for Precision Health Monitoring
