Making the best applications possible with the help of the scientific method.

Evidence-based practice is a cornerstone of my nursing approach, and I intend to apply the same principles to my applications. Through both quantitative and qualitative measurements, we can create, test, and implement technological solutions that demonstrably improve our patients' lives.

Below are a collection of research ideas that I am particularly passionate about.

A mixed methods study on the use of IBDiary: an application used to track and map the relationship between stress and IBD symptoms

Early stages

Our goal is to have 12-20 people utilize IBDiary throughout a month long period of time and then have a conversation about their stress and IBD symptoms with their Gastroenterologist at the end of the month. A list questions has been given to the Gastroenterologist and the patient's responses have been used for thematic analysis. The application data will be used for quantitative analysis.
