Faculty
Our interdisciplinary faculty transform health care by crafting policy, shaping behavioral interventions, improving operations, and driving innovation. They also improve health care innovation by teaching students and professionals like you.
Whether you are learning in the Graduate Certificate or the Master of Health Care Innovation (MHCI) program, you will gain skills and knowledge in multiple facets of innovation and leadership from faculty across the University of Pennsylvania, including the Perelman School of Medicine and the Wharton School.
My research focuses on the transformative role information technology can play in the health care of older adults and their families, and the generation of innovative personal health solutions in home and hospice care.

Of all the forms of inequality, injustice in health care is the most inhumane.” Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. said this in 1955 and not much has changed since then. Crisis breeds innovation, but it should not always have to. Varied experiences, perspectives, and approaches are the real impetus for innovation, and we should encourage everyone to equip themselves with the knowledge and tools to improve the health of patients everywhere.

From a societal point of view I cannot think of an industry in which connected strategies will have a bigger impact than in health care. The ability to create deeper connections with patients has the potential to create better outcomes and higher efficiency.

Those who aim to advance health care with their research must also aim to understand the ethical and regulatory aspects of research. Research ethics is an essential element of good research practice.
