Independent validation and outlier analysis of EuroPOND Alzheimer's disease staging model using ADNI and real-world clinical data

Read →

Validates an event-based model for Alzheimer's disease staging, developed by the EU-funded EuroPOND project, against both research cohorts and real-world data from nine Belgian memory clinics — a step toward using the model in multi-centre trials.

Measurements, Algorithms, and Presentations of Reality: Framing Interactions with AI-Enabled Decision Support

Read →

Introduces the MAP model — Measurement, Algorithm, Presentation — to describe how clinical observations are gathered, transformed, and returned to clinicians by AI decision-support systems, and the human-centred challenges at each stage.

Opportunities and Barriers for Adoption of a Decision-Support Tool for Alzheimer's Disease

Read →

A field study of adoption opportunities for a predictive Alzheimer's decision-support tool, conducted before it was built — combining workflow analysis, user profiles, and a design-reality gap model to surface adoption risks early.

Requirements for a dashboard to support quality improvement teams in pain management

Read →

Field research with a UK critical care unit's quality improvement team, translating how staff interpret longitudinal pain data into a set of dashboard visualisations for the hospital's electronic health record.

PhD Thesis — UCL · 2021

Translating Predictive Models for Alzheimer's Disease to Clinical Practice: User Research, Adoption Opportunities, and Conceptual Design of a Decision Support Tool

Read →

Explores what it takes to bring a predictive Alzheimer's model into clinical use — from field research on clinical needs to designing and testing icompass, a decision-support tool concept — and identifies which technical features and clinician profiles are best placed to drive early adoption.

Review of my journey with Interaction Design Foundation

Read →

A personal review of the Interaction Design Foundation's UX and interaction design courses, written partway through her PhD — what made the platform and its community genuinely learner-oriented, plus a few tips for anyone starting the same path.

Analyzing large Alzheimer's disease cognitive datasets: Considerations and challenges

Read →

A perspective paper outlining the idiosyncrasies of cognitive test data used in Alzheimer's data-sharing initiatives, written for computational researchers unfamiliar with how these tests are built and scored — with guidance on avoiding common misinterpretations.

Testing the conceptual design of icompass: a new clinical decision-support tool to guide clinicians through Alzheimer's Disease markers' evolution

Read →

Presents and tests icompass, a decision-support tool concept for guiding clinicians through the evolving pattern of Alzheimer's disease markers — the applied strand of the wider PhD research.

Multi-study validation of data-driven disease progression models to characterize evolution of biomarkers in Alzheimer's disease

Read →

A multi-cohort validation of two data-driven models for sequencing the biological and clinical events of Alzheimer's disease, testing models trained on research data against real-world clinical cohorts.

Spotlight: new frontiers in technology for dementia

Read →

Notes from the Technology and Dementia preconference at the Alzheimer's Association International Conference — a snapshot of how technology for early detection, monitoring, and clinical translation is being designed, and whether it's built to support clinicians and patients rather than just showcase what's technically possible.

Explainable AI in healthcare: Why, what, and how technical potential could empower clinicians' capability

Read →

A position paper — first presented at a UCL Grand Challenge Workshop on Human-Centred Explainable AI — arguing that explainability in healthcare AI is a human-centred requirement, not just a technical one: ML explanations only build clinician trust when they map to how clinicians actually reason, not to what's technically expressive.

Delivering disease progression models to clinical practice: a user study on opportunities and barriers for translation and adoption

Read →

A conference abstract presenting an early user study on the opportunities and barriers to translating disease progression models into clinical practice — the seed of the adoption questions later expanded in the PhD thesis.
