Biography
I came to Massey University from clinical medical practice in Ireland, Australia and New Zealand, completed a Master of Philosophy in Information Systems, and joined the Department of Information Systems as a lecturer in 1999. I am now employed as an Associate Professor in the Massey Business School. I worked part-time for Massey University and part time in clinical medical practice up to 2019. My research interests include health informatics, especially sharing of health data, data governance, ethical design, telehealth especially smart sensor technologies. As I have worked as both an academic and medical doctor, my research has an applied end-user focus, translating end-user research into clinical practice/health sector policy. With the increasing use of AI, my research interests now include AI as an enabling technology. I am a Fellow of ACHI and HiNZ and represent New Zealand on international digital technology organisations including IMIA and ISO.
Research Projects and Ideas
My recent projects have included leading work developing national digital (telehealth) consultation codes, exploring cultural requirements for digital health services for indigenous peoples, a stock take of public hospital telehealth use, using sensors to support aging at home, digital literacy in the community, attitudes to sharing of personal health information, rural telehealth & community needs, and integrating ethics into digital technology design. AI in various forms are involved.
