I have a particular interest in developing chronic disease management programs to improve clinical outcomes and quality of life in patients with heart failure. These include initiatives to expand the use of remote monitoring technologies and platforms, to optimize the application of guideline-directed medical and device therapy, and to improve access to care and transitions of care.

My research interests include the use of biomarkers in understanding response to therapy and outcomes in heart failure, evaluation of novel remote monitoring and therapeutic devices, and approaches to improving delivery of care to broad patient populations.
