Professor in Health/Social Informatics
Computing Science Division of Computing Science and Mathematics, Cottrell Building, University of Stirling
I am a Professor of Health & Care Informatics & Implementation Science based within the Division of Computing Science & Mathematics of the University of Stirling.
With a background in Electronics Engineering (B. Eng., Université de Paris XI, Orsay), Computing Science (PhD & Pg. Dip Comp. Sc., Trinity College, Dublin) and Health Services Research (M.Sc., University of Glasgow), I have over 20 years’ experience of multi-disciplinary research and development in the field of computing science, software development, medical informatics and the development and evaluation of complex digital health interventions.
My research mainly focuses on the processes of Digital Health solution development and Implementation, which consists in working with patients and health and care professionals to identify areas of unmet care needs and subsequently co-design, develop, implement and evaluate digital solutions which can contribute to improvements of care processes or care outcomes.
The approach is grounded in Systems Engineering, Computer Engineering, Software Development, Socio-Technical Systems Design and Human Computer Interaction and Implementation Science and can be applied in a range of domain of application.
However, each 'use case' is typically highly idiosyncratic and each solution needs to be tailored to the specific needs entailed by the focus of the condition, care requirements and settings and user groups, being patients or providers.
Typical challenges of implementation include: fitness for purpose, complexity, adaptability, interoperability and scalability.
As an example of this research, I have been a lead member of a research collaborative with the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital (QUEUH) renal services, working on the development of a patient portal that chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients can use to capture and share quality of life and disease treatment burden information with the renal services team.
I also have a specific interest in researching and developing digital health solutions for patients who face high treatment burdens (e.g. patients with chronic diseases), as well as areas of unmet care needs and digital inclusion (e.g. working with people with learning disabilities), and developing solutions for healthy ageing, or assistive living technologies (such as smart homes for people with dementia).
I have been awarded over £4,588,462 of research and skills development funding to date as PI & Co-PI (£3,645,327) & Co-Investigator (£943,135), including as the Scotland lead of the Interreg TITTAN (Network for Technology, Innovation and Translation in Ageing) programme (2016-21, €1,784,916), as a senior Co-I in the evaluation of the Innovate UK DALLAS programme (Delivering Assisted Living Lifestyles At Scale, 2012-15, £ 563,467 for the evaluation out of £37M national programme budget) and as a Scotland Chief Scientist Office Fellow in medical informatics (2010-13, £181,575).

-I was a lead Co-Lead / co-Principal Investigator in the development of the Data Driven Innovation Talent programme (2019-2023, £989,000 funded through the Edinburgh and South East Scotland City Region Deal, co-PI with Michelle Evans, Colan Mehaffey & Ruth McQuillan)

https://pdfs.semanticscholar.org/547c/8a08d4f21f0c560db8885bed2b876769ae0a.pdf
I have authored & co-authored over a 100 scientific publications in top tier Medical Informatics journals (Nature npj Digital Medicine, The Lancet Digital Health, BMJ Medicine, JAMIA, JMIR, British Journal of Surgery) and international conferences in Computing Science (CHI, CIKM, CSCW, ISWC, INTERACT, IMIA MEDINFO, MIE, ACM SIGACCESS, etc.)
I am a former Scotland Chief Scientist Office (CSO) Fellow (2010-2013) and a current member of the CSO Health Improvement, Protection and Services (HIPS) Research Committee:
I am always open to research and development collaborations and opportunities with other universities (including through knowledge transfer programmes and research networks), health boards and integrated health and social boards, local authorities and industry.
I am also interested in supporting & mentoring competitive post-doctoral Fellowship applications in a research topic aligned with my research interests listed bellow.
I am also accepting PhD students who wish to conduct doctoral research in one of my topics of interest including (…but not limited to):
• Digital Health
• Health & Care Informatics
• Mobile Health
• Healthcare Data Science
• Digital Health & Care / eHealth Implementation
• Perioperative Medicine, Risk Prediction, remote postoperative follow-up
• Decision Support Systems
• Telehealth / Telecare / Assistive Technologies
• Technologies to support healthy ageing
• Technologies to support people living independently (e.g. smart homes) or living with dementia
• Technologies to support people living with multi-morbidity conditions or high treatment burden
• Technologies to support people with unmet care needs
