My research program is in respiratory therapy, specifically, respiratory disease management across all age groups. Programs across the whole healthcare continuum are needed to improve prevention; provide effective management; and supply alternative, consistent models of service delivery for those living with respiratory-related diseases and disorders. I am involved with several different research areas to help address these issues. First, I am a health clinician scientist at SickKids researching innovative approaches to pediatric respiratory therapy. Secondly, I am invested in optimizing the quality of healthcare services for individuals using home mechanical ventilation. Finally, I have an interest in the management of chronic respiratory disease, including rehabilitation and exercise. Therefore, the goals for my research are to gather information, understand, develop and evaluate effective respiratory therapies to help individuals affected by respiratory related diseases and disorders across their life span.
