Profile

I have 16 years of work experience in the public health field in the Government of Abu Dhabi, UAE, designing and implementing health promotion and awareness programs and policies. I am passionate about exploring new ways to use technology efficiently to help individuals and populations promote their health and well-being.

In my masters thesis, I conducted a systematic review of digital health tools for diabetes management in GCC countries. For my PhD, I will explore the utilization of chatbots in health promotion, examining the current status, advantages, obstacles, and future prospects.

I am excited to contribute to the growing field of digital health and to help make healthcare more accessible and effective for everyone. 

Research interests

My research interests include chatbots, digital health, health promotion, and healthcare policies.
