Project Opportunities

Title: Digital health for the prevention and management of chronic conditions

Summary of opportunity:

We welcome PhD and Masters students to contribute to some of our ongoing projects or to develop their own proposals, within the theme of digital health for the prevention and management of chronic conditions, particularly (but not limited to) cardiovascular disease.

Opportunity synopsis:

Current projects range from experimental studies testing the impact of innovative technologies (e.g. chatbots, wearable and wireless devices, mobile applications) in promoting lifestyle behaviour change for disease prevention and in promoting self-management of chronic conditions (e.g. atrial fibrillation) for better health outcomes. These experimental studies usually involve a qualitative component as well (e.g. semi-structured interviews with patients/clinicians). Other ongoing projects focus on statistical analyses of large datasets (e.g. primary care data, UK Biobank).
