About

Research

As a doctoral researcher at the Centre for Digital Health Interventions at ETH Zurich, I work on user churn prediction and prevention in Digital Health Interventions (DHIs). My research aims to help stakeholders develop more effective and compelling DHIs. In collaboration with healthcare industry partners, we analyze longitudinal data sets of real-world mHealth interventions to identify factors that influence user adherence. We are further developing machine learning models to predict churn and nonadherence in DHIs to create actionable insights for targeted mitigation strategies.
