Introduction
I've majored in architecture at undergraduate and graduate levels. Due to the transdisciplinary nature of architecture, my interests are broad – spanning codesign, technology, education and healthcare. Despite wide-ranging interests, all converge around the same mission to examine how connected intelligence technologies can enable smarter living and healthier lives for all.

Convergence of digital and genomic revolutions commonly known as digital health has the potential to evoke behaviour changes for the betterment of individuals and society. Despite opportunities for radical transformation, digital health remains faithful to the social cognitive paradigm of psychology and dominant information-processing metaphor. Wit...
Governments increasingly cite design thinking as a way to help businesses innovate and grow. Our review of design thinking shows that while such tools successfully drive profits in a market economy, their bias on user needs comes at the expense of living systems. A recent shift towards circular design thinking has refocused business minds on closin...
British parliament and its flawed voting systems have destroyed citizen engagement in politics, damaged the integrity of politicians, and failed to ensure Britain can deal with current challenges. In response, technologists have developed blockchain voting apps to ensure British democracy is more transparent, accountable, and fair. Despite this pos...
Background: Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of morbidity and mortality globally. Digital behaviour change interventions (dBCIs) may optimise prevention of CVDs due to their ability to overcome typical barriers to cardiac rehabilitation (CR). Despite their potential, most dBCIs report limited adherence and small effect sizes. Resea...
OpenSelfcare: a design framework for building complex mental health apps Highlights • Health apps are complex interventions that defy prediction or control • Health app design and development guidelines are currently limited • Applying a synthesis of methods is vital for the future success of apps • OpenSelfcare design framework may help guide futu...
British education remains standardised to 19th century factory models, fostering deep socioeconomic inequalities and failing to prepare students for 21st century life. As a result, academic standards and productivity are in decline. In the last 25 years, Finland’s education policy has continued to adopt an egalitarian ethos of economic equality, cu...
Background: Mental and substance use disorders (M/SUDs) are the leading cause of non-fatal illness worldwide, incurring substantial social and economic costs. The limited impact of interventions to treat people with M/SUD has prompted a clinical shift toward more personality-informed approaches. Within psychiatry, evidence shows key personality tra...
Background: Research suggests cardiac rehabilitation (CR) in the form of dietary advice, physical activity, and psychosocial intervention is the most comprehensive care for people living with cardiovascular disease (CVD). However, limited data associations between personal identity (i.e., traits, self-continuity, engagement) and health outcomes mak...
Recent technological advances to augment human intelligence (aka Intelligence Amplification or IA) can potentially allow us to make our cities and citizenry smarter than ever. However, their corruptive and disruptive impact on health suggests the information technology (IT) industry must establish an ethical framework to ensure our future generatio...
This review contributes to evidence that personality traits play a key role in life outcomes and may be changed via intervention.
This paper identifies preliminary evidence that personality-based
frameworks may help counter some of the conflicts that arise from current diagnostic measures. Adoption of such models may also help guide future intervention developments toward more successful recovery outcomes.
By 2050, 70% of the world’s population will be urban, forcing more people to live on less land, consume more energy, and generate more CO2 emissions. These pressures suggest a new urban infrastructure is needed to mitigate challenges, so citizens and support systems can thrive. One current solution is to build smart cities – urban areas that harnes...
The construction industry is currently experiencing radical change driven by the latest and most powerful technologies; robotics, genetic engineering and artificial life. Computers are now threatening to make architects an endangered species. Examining the architect's role in history from 'master builder' to digital facilitator may provide us with...
