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.
