Biography

Background

Kathrin Cresswell (KC) is a social scientist with extensive experience in conducting formative evaluations of digitally enabled change and improvement programmes in healthcare. She has consulted for the World Health Organization, Harvard Medical School, NHS England and Improvement, is a member of the Royal Society of Edinburgh Young Academy of Scotland, has received the Yvonne Carter Award for Outstanding New Researcher, and has been an invited speaker at the European Parliament and Harvard Medical School. She is also the co-chair of the International Medical Informatics Association (IMIA) and European Federation of Medical Informatics Evaluation Working Groups on evaluation. She has over 100 peer-reviewed publications in international academic journals and almost £40 million in research grant funding. She is currently a Senior Lecturer at the Usher Institute at The University of Edinburgh, Co-Director of External Engagement in a Doctoral Training Centre for Biomedical Artificial Intelligence, and Module Lead on a Scottish national digital health leadership programme. She was previously Module Lead on an English national digital health leadership programme and has taught over 400 national and international health information technology leaders about Technology Strategy and Health Information Systems Implementation.

She has researched the use of a variety of health information technologies in context over the last 17 years. These have included both patient- and professional-facing technologies comprising electronic health records, robotics, health and fitness apps, artificial intelligence and decision support systems. She is an expert in conducting evaluations of digital applications, having applied formative methods in a variety of health and care settings (hospitals, primary care, and home). Bringing together stakeholders with varying perspectives is key to her ongoing work, where she examines how political, commercial, organisational, patient and healthcare workers’ interests need to be aligned to transform health and care through safe and scalable technologies.
