Nurse Scientist
Veterans Administration
Minneapolis, Minnesota, United States
I am a nurse scientist with the Minneapolis Adaptive Design & Engineering (MADE) Program at the Minneapolis VA Medical Center System, Minneapolis, Minnesota. My research focus is prevention of pressure injury, primarily focused on Veterans with spinal cord injury (SCI). I also support work with Veterans who have lower limb amputations. I work collaboratively with the multidisciplinary MADE team to conduct research to include leading the qualitative inquiry process during the iterative design and development of the research projects. This cohesive team of clinicians (MDs, OTs, PTs, and Nurses), engineers and specialists design, develop, and test adaptive devices for Veterans. Other collaborations include working with scientists and clinicians from University of Minnesota, Mayo Clinic, University of Washington, and numerous VA Health Care facilities across the nation. My current projects include: refinement of a comprehensive mobile pressure assessment system (VA Merit, role: PI), development and testing of a skin self-monitoring tool (VA Technology Transfer and SPIRE, role: PI), development of a falls related outcome tool (DoD, role Site Co-PI); testing dosage and utility of a mobile manual standing wheelchair (VA Merit; site Co-I).
I do not have any relevant financial / non-financial relationships with any proprietary interests.
