Biography

I had my PhD in Computing Science at the University of Aberdeen. I specialise in the area of human computer interaction (User Experience)

I am currently working with the University of Bradford on a project named EVEREST-HN. EVEREST-HN is funded by the National Institute for Health Research (NIHR) PGfAR stream and the International Centre for Recurrent Head and Neck Cancer.

My role in the EVEREST-HN project is to co-design the Symptom iNput Clinical (SYNC) system with patient’s representatives, clinicians and other stakeholders to develop a user-friendly and effective system.

The objective of the SYNC system is to improve the healthcare system in reporting the symptoms of Head and Neck Cancer (HNC) in the following ways

• Symptom reporting – to make it easier for patients to report symptoms related to HNC.       
• Early detection – detect the symptoms of HNC early for better treatment outcomes.    
• Risk stratification – to prioritise patients with high risk of HNC.
