- I was employed as a Research Associate on the project. This was done in collaboration with the Universities of Manchester, Southampton, Loughborough and Oxford Brookes. Furthermore, the project was conducted in conjunction with colleagues at Strathclyde Business School and Bio-Engineering. My responsibilities on the project involved analysing data for Self-management of digital health technologies and display of outcomes in an interdisciplinary format allowing industry partners and academic collaborators to critically engage with the findings. The team was closely engaged with knowledge exchange partnerships with multiple bodies such as Diabetes UK. Dissemination of findings across external bodies and academic collaborators has been delivered via oral presentations and reports.
