Research

DynAIRx Study

My current work on the DynAIRx study is about making healthcare more responsive to the needs of people living with multiple long-term conditions. I lead a work package that brings patient and public involvement to the heart of the project by co-designing digital health tools and strategies in partnership with patients, communities, and practitioners. A key focus of this work is ensuring that the development of new technologies is not just data-driven, but grounded in experiences of people living with complex health needs. By connecting data science with lived experience, I aim to help create healthcare solutions that are inclusive, compassionate, and practical in people’s healthcare journeys.

Interest in Maternal Mental Health

My research is driven by a commitment to making health research and practice genuinely responsive to people’s lived experiences. I am particularly interested in maternal and reproductive health equity. During my PhD, I explored how parents bereaved by stillbirth sought support through baby loss peer groups. Using creative and reflective methods — including my own lived experience — I examined how grief is expressed, shared, and supported in community spaces.

I am keen to continue building on these areas of interest and to collaborate with others who share a commitment to amplifying lived experience, co-designing equitable approaches to health, and exploring how participatory methods can transform both research and practice.
