Biography

I am an investigator-track faculty member with career mission of developing digital health interventions and health system workflows that personalize care, leveraging data from a) continuous glucose monitors and b) consumer grade wearable devices. I began using wearable biosensors for research with my predoctoral dissertation measuring antihypertensive effects of exercise using wearable 24hr ambulatory blood pressure monitors. As a PI, I have completed several pilot studies and currently completing an NIDDK mentored research scientist award (1K01DK129441) developing an informatics-based digital application to promote safe exercise in middle-aged adults with type 1 diabetes (T1D). I am separately developing a similar approach for type 2 diabetes (T2D), which started by leading a VA HSR&D Locally Initiated Pilot gathering formative interviews from Veterans with T2D about continuous glucose monitoring and mobile exercise resources. I have since been an MPI on two projects focused on the implementation of continuous glucose monitors and consumer grade wearable devices into clinical workflow. Finally, I am integrating continuous glucose monitoring and virtual reality technology into a peer support intervention for adolescents with type 1 diabetes.

Our work has recently been featured with our collaborator GlucoseZone. https://f.io/jU1Mfu2A
