- Research interests
-
My research focuses on how data from smartphones and wearables can be used to improve health and healthcare. These devices are used by over 90% of adults, and provide data on a range of important aspects of health. This includes physical activity, sleep, heart rate, and environment. However, such data is not yet used in medicine due to a range of obstacles that need to be overcome.
