Module Lead, Technological Innovation and Digital Health, MSc in Translational Health Sciences

Module Lead, Foundations in Digital Health, MSc in Applied Digital Health

Chrysanthi is co-director of the Interdisciplinary Research in Health Sciences (IRIHS) group where she leads a programme of work on the interdisciplinary study of digital health and innovation. This involves drawing on insights from medical sociology, organisational theory and science and technology studies, to understand how digital health innovations become introduced and embedded in complex organisational and personal settings.

Chrysanthi is also deputy director of the NIHR-funded DECIDE programme on the rapid evaluation of technology-enabled remote monitoring in health and care. Within DECIDE, she leads a mixed-methods evaluation of the NHS Health Check Online pilot, examining the development, implementation and use of this novel digital service (2024-2026). This builds on previous research on the role of the NHS App as the digital ‘front door’ to the NHS in England. Chrysanthi has also led research on remote group-based care, including the NIHR-funded Together 2 mixed-methods evaluation in general practice.

She is involved in global health research, such as NIHR-funded work on supporting information exchange for post-discharge care of vulnerable newborns in Kenya (HIGH-Q programme, 2020-24) and in a Wellcome Trust-funded programme on the future of service delivery and technology integration at First Referral Hospitals in Sub-Saharan Africa (AFRHiCARE, ongoing).

She teaches at postgraduate level, on topics related to sociotechnical innovation, implementation and evaluation, spread and scale-up of digital health, social theory, complexity and evidence synthesis. She also supervises DPhil, MSc and undergraduate projects on the social study of technology in healthcare.

Prior to joining the Nuffield Department of Primary Care Health Sciences, she held research and teaching positions at Imperial College London, the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine and the Oxford Internet Institute.
