Jenny joined the Centre for Rural Health in August 2010.  Prior to moving to the Highlands in 2005, Jenny was a lecturer at Cranfield University. More  recently, she gained commercial experience while working in Inverness Medical Limited and as Director of a health and wellbeing SME.

Jenny is actively pursuing and developing research in the digital health arena to enhance service delivery, quality, user experience and access for remote and rural communities. Jenny's research considers the social impacts of digital health technology and explores the understandings and perceptions of current and potentially future users. While remote and rural communities are the focus of current research, the robust nature of the solutions required means that they may be transferrable to other communities and user groups. 

 Jenny also has an interest in public health applications of digital health.

CURRENT CRH PROJECTS

  · Identifying best approach for implementing structured education for people with type 2 diabetes living in remote and rural communities

 ·  Evaluation of a community capital assessment tool (C-CAT)
