About
I am a Professor of Mobile Health (mHealth) at Kingston University London and the founder of the research group Digital Media for Health in 2012. I obtained my PhD in mHealth with the thesis titled 'Medical Quality of Service for Optimised Ultrasound Streaming in Wireless Robotic Tele-ultrasonography System' from the Faculty of Science, Engineering and Computing at Kingston University, UK, in 2008.
My research interests are mainly in Data and Multimedia Communication, Networking and Information Technology in healthcare and medical applications. I have more than 15 years of experience in mHealth. I have been involved in many national and international mHealth projects in the areas of chronic disease management (e.g. diabetes, COPD and Cancer), decision support systems, behavioural change management, telehealth and telecare in developing countries, need assessment and evaluation of telehealth services, Social robotics, medical video streaming, medical Quality of Service and medical Quality of Experience and Big Data for Health, namely; OTELO, E-Dispute, Delphi, LTE-Health, WELCOME and AEGLE. I was part of one of the top 10 finalist teams (SCANURSE) of The Qualcomm Tricorder XPRIZE (2014) for developing innovative and integrated diagnostic technologies, helping citizens make their own reliable health diagnoses anywhere and anytime.
Current and previous work
