PhD research funded through a departmental training grant from the National Library of Medicine. The purpose of this research was to evaluate the collaborative design of an online community for cancer survivorship in middle Tennessee. The four primary aims of this qualitative study were to define the local cancer survivorship community, identify its strengths and opportunities to improve, build an online community to address these opportunities, and evaluate the collaborative design and development of this online community.Masters research: The initial design of a novel informatics-based system for cancer communication was conducted in three phases. A prototype web-based communication system was created with an emphasis on the interpersonal relationships between patients, families, and clinicians.

Project HealthDesign is a $5 million national program designed to support health and information technology pioneers in creating a new generation of personal health record (PHR) systems that can share common technical functions. The Vanderbilt team focused on approaches to help children take charge in their own personal health and medication management in the context of their social networks and environment.
