About me

I am a behavioural and implementation scientist with an applied background working with populations with long term conditions. My current role combines my expertise with technological innovations to advance the healthcare agenda to be more proactive and preventative, given the pressing challenges to society. Currently, I am working across the NHS to support widespread digital transformation and various industry partners (Cisco, Optimum/EMUS, Palantir) to accelerate the robustness and knowledge generation for emerging technologies. More specifically, I am interested in ensuring digital solutions are underpinned with relevant and appropriate interventions, can drive sustained behaviour change, and accumulate our understanding of what works, for whom, in what circumstance and why.
