Research Focus
My research focuses on digital health research that puts patients at the centre. I lead a project called the BRILLIANT learning health community (https://www.brilliant-cfi.ca), which is part of an international network of research labs and open science initiatives. My work aims to improve health outcomes for people living with chronic conditions by developing and implementing patient-centred outcomes and digital health tools. These tools help patients and healthcare professionals make better decisions throughout the care journey. I also advise on projects that focus on using patient-centred health data in Quebec and direct the Fonds de recherche Québec (FRQ)−funded Digital Health Network (https://rsn.quebec/).
