My research in learning health systems has focused on the best use of online platforms that support communities of practice to implement evidence-based clinical practices by health professionals/ I lead the development new web platform architecture called Alicanto Social Learning platform that can be used for training and care communication between health professionals and patients. The system is being designed to have seamless data interchange between the learning system, collaboration system, consultation system, and clinical data repository. I am part of the InfoSAGE eldercare network project that is investigating the impact of an online platform to connect elders over 75 with their family members for information sharing and care coordination. This study investigates the information needs of elders and their families in order to better understand the challenges for families of communicating and coordinating using online and mobile technologies. We have also developed a medication manager tool for patients and their families and thereby to improve medication management and safety. With colleagues at Homewood Research Institute in Canada, I have developed new methods to evaluate digital mental health systems using evidence-based approaches. I am also investigating the challenges in building global health informatics platforms that can link clinical systems, home care systems, public health systems, community outreach systems to create online coordinated care communities, and to facilitate the collection of data from multiple care providers. I am investigating the challenges of data interchange among countries and patterns of collaboration between clinicians and basic science researchers. With international collaborators, I am investigating the application of serious games for health. Serious games for health are interactive gaming applications that have the goal to educate and motivate users for behavior change.
