RESEARCH & DESIGN:
BurnCORE is a mobile platform to engage & inform patients, connect survivors & improve recovery.
People living with burn injuries need a convenient, mobile guidance platform (Burn Connect & Recover - BurnCORE) that gives them 24/7 access to information and resources, a survivor community, real-time symptom assessment and just-in-time interventions to improve their recovery experience and outcomes.
PROBLEM
Currently, people recovering from and living with burn injuries lack the tools and real-time support to optimize their recovery experience. With BurnCORE, we aim to connect and enable patients, survivors and burn centres to achieve optimal recoveries for those affected by burn injuries through better access to information, better symptom assessment, and better treatment when needed.

Multiple Interviews are contacted with Clinicians, Nurses, Doctors, and Patients.
OBJECTIVES
1. Outline the information and resources, EMA strategy and schedule, and just-in-time interventions for a prototype mobile device platform (BurnCORE) with patients and burn care providers;
2. Design and build a prototype BurnCORE and cloud data management and analysis platform;
3. Pilot BurnCORE among people living with burn injuries treated at UW Medicine Regional Burn Center and incorporate their feedback into a live version.
People living with burn injuries who have access to BurnCORE will be more informed about their injury, have better burn care and rehabilitation experience, and encounter fewer challenges with specific symptoms (e.g., pain, anxiety, sleep problems) and recovery milestones (e.g., independence, return to work).
Due to an NDA with UW Medicine - Harborview Medical Centre, I am unable to provide examples of my work.
