This project evaluates the acceptability of the COVID-19 pandemic response technology: digital contact-tracing apps and COVID certificates. The overarching aim is to explore public views on crisis response technologies, including such topics as fairness, acceptability, and privacy. The project includes two large-scale studies: 1) a quantitative cross-national public evaluation of contact-tracing apps in the US, UK, and Ireland and 2) a mixed methods user study on digital COVID-19 certificates in the Republic of Ireland.

Privacy and security practices in software development teams

Privacy and security by design are complex concepts that can be challenging to implement in the software development lifecycle. This ongoing project aims to determine the security and privacy-related factors that influence software systems development and deployment project outcomes.

Digital Health information communication in an aged care context

As a member of the R&D project “Collegamenti” funded by the Province of Trento, Italy, I studied if and how digital channels could mediate and support information exchange within residential aged care. This project was at the core of PhD research. The user studies included healthcare professionals, family members, and institutionalised older adults located in the North of Italy, the USA, Paraguay, and the Philippines.

patient accessible electronic health records (PAEHRs)

During my PhD internship at Uppsala University in Sweden, I joined the Health Technology and Organisations (HTO) research group to work on the project of the DOME consortium. The project's focus was on the evaluation of the Swedish national PAEHR system called Journalen, a service that provides patients with access to their health records.

Accessible touchscreen user interfaces

Older adults form a heterogeneous group with varying abilities and tech interests. This research project focused on touchscreen accessibility addressing populations affected by ageing-related ability declines. We systematically reviewed and categorised touchscreen design guidelines for older adults to identify current design trends and provide a repository to support researchers, designers, and developers.
