Personal profile
Research interests
I have an interest in new and emerging technologies (VR, AR, Voice assisted technology, IoT devices) and how they can be used to support self-monitoring and management in people with long term health conditions (e.g. Parkinson's, dementia, mental health, COPD, stroke). I am also interested in how these technologies can support people within caring roles, or within care settings (e.g. assisted living).
I have a clinical background as a Speech and Language Therapist (SLT), and so am always interested in projects exploring how digital technology can support SLT practice.
My current active projects are exploring:
- The detection of mental health behaviours relating to self-harm, and binge eating and bulimia using mobile phone interactions
- The Co-Design of mobile applications to support clinical training of SLTs in Ghana
- The role of Alexa to support people with Parkinson's in improving speech clarity
- The use of the SPHERE platform (home based sensing) in detecting symptoms of Parkinson's
- Data supported decision making in COPD care (PhD supervision of Helena Tendedez, Lancaster Uni)
- The Co-Design of VR experiences with people transitioning into assisted living facilities
I am currently accepting PhD students
