I am an associate professor in the Department of Occupational Therapy at the University of Manitoba, specializing in assistive technology aimed at improving the lives of individuals with disabilities. My research focuses on developing and implementing technology-based solutions to facilitate independent living and reduce caregiver burden. Specifically, I am exploring technology for assisted living solutions, telerehabilitation platforms, and innovative rehabilitation techniques, such as virtual reality for stroke survivors​. My initiatives are particularly significant for rural and underserved populations, where access to rehabilitation services can be limited. For example, the "Active at Home Post-Stroke Program" provides telerehabilitation using a combination of mobile apps, virtual reality systems, and sensor technology​. My research has received funding from various organizations, and I am leading multidisciplinary collaborations with researchers across Canada, Europe and Asia, focusing on areas such as cognitive impairment, health-care allocation, and independent living.
