Biography & Research:
My goal is to improve diagnosis and care for people with dementia through innovative digital solutions. With a background in applied neuropsychology, I bring a unique perspective which bridges psychology, mobility and translational clinical research. I am a Research Fellow, funded by the National Institute of Health Research. My current research focus includes identifying digital biomarkers to support dementia diagnosis; and identifying psychosocial markers of physical activity in dementia. I am highly motivated to improve the general public’s understanding of dementia research, reduce stigma and promote policy and practice change to allow people with dementia to live as well as they can.
