Health Informatics RIG
The Health Informatics RIG provides an interdisciplinary forum for researchers to explore and collaborate around the topic of information and communication technologies that intersect with health and well-being across the lifespan. It seeks to balance and integrate efforts from the technological aspects of health informatics and those from the social, behavioral, and design aspects, particularly as related to age, culture, and community.

Dr. Xie’s research reflects her interdisciplinary training in Medicine, Psychology, and Science and Technology Studies. She focuses on health informatics interventions that can promote older adults’ use of information and communication technologies (ICT) for health information and decision-making (i.e., e-health literacy) that may have important implications for patient-provider relationships and health outcomes.
