Behavior change; mHealth/eHealth interventions; Medication adherence; Quality of life; Patient-reported outcomes

My primary area of interest clinically is sickle cell disease (SCD). My major research focus relates to health services and outcomes research, in particular the use and implementation of technology-based interventions and wireless health devices in different settings. My short-term goal is to become an independent, externally funded clinical investigator in non-malignant hematology and become an expert in mobile health (mHealth) and behavioral intervention research methodology. My long-term goals are to become a leader in the field of pediatric SCD and implement technology-based interventions for monitoring and improving patient reported outcomes (PROs), medication adherence and self-management skills in patients with SCD and other chronic complex conditions. My related long-term research goals are to better understand and treat hemoglobinopathies through outreach initiatives.
