Research

My main area of research is innovation adoption and communication. I am particularly interested in innovation in healthcare. I am the chair Health and Innovation Special Interest Group at ISPIM and work with international partners to understand and improve Medtech and surgical innovation adoption and communication in healthcare industry. I am interested in application of new technologies in healthcare and currently exploring the use of Virtual Reality in pain management. Another project is positive storytelling (@NHSBLUEHEROES), as a way of communicating positive care outcome to healthcare workers.
