My research sits at the intersection of health communication, information communication technologies (ICT or “technologies”) and the promotion of healthy behaviors. The larger question that my research seeks to answer is, “How can we engage stakeholders to use technology to improve health outcomes?”

Because health is so complex, I use a mixed methods approach in my research. I have found that using this approach has really helped in understanding the oddities and disjointed nature in health care.
