mHealth Research Group

Dr Jane Walsh, Director, M-Health Research Group, School of Psychology, NUI Galway

Jane’s research has focused mainly on developing health behaviour interventions in both the public health domain and in health care settings, with a particular focus on preventive health behaviours (e.g. exercise, diet, screening, vaccination). M-health as an emerging technology lends itself to increased self-monitoring which has been shown to be an effective tool in behaviour change interventions.

Jane has worked in several multidisciplinary teams to develop theory-based interventions in applied settings and has obtained funding for her research from the HRB, IRC, HSE and the Millennium Fund and published her research internationally in high quality journals.

Dr Gerry Molloy

Gerry’s research focuses on the question, 'How does the immediate social environment and one's personality influence health and illness across the lifespan?' In this work self-regulation models from behavioural sciences are used to understand how aspects of social relationships interact with individual differences to influence health and illness throughout life. This programme of work has a particular focus on treatment adherence and in particular the use of daily medications.

Dr Mike Hogan

Michael’s research focuses on Collective Intelligence and Critical Thinking; Behavioural and electrophysiological aspects of executive control, learning and memory; Physical activity and ageing cognition; Emotion, Personality and Cognition in younger and older adults; Emotion and cardiovascular responding; The cerebellum and aging cognition ; Chronic Pain; Mindfulness; and Wellbeing Measurement and Policy. Michael was a key designer of the collective intelligence stakeholder engagement methodology in the SeaforSociety EU project.

He has also supervised research on the classification of fitness-related tweets from various mobile apps.

Dr Brian McGuire

He worked initially as a research psychologist in brain injury rehabilitation in London. He then moved to Sydney where he spent the next 10 years lecturing in psychology and working as a clinical psychologist. He joined NUIG in 2003 and is the former Director of the Doctor of Psychological Science programme in Clinical Psychology and Joint Director of the Centre for Pain Research. His clinical work is primarily in behavioural medicine, such as pain management and diabetes care. His research interests are in pain management, diabetes, and adjustment to chronic physical illness. He was recently awarded a HRB Research Leader award in the area of E-Health.

Dr Kiran Sarma

Kiran leads the Risky and Extreme Behaviour Research Group at the School of Psychology and chairs the university-wide Security Research Group (SRG). He works closely with the European Commission’s Radicalisation Awareness Network and is the Principal Investigator on a number of projects funded by the Irish Research Council dealing with psychology and counter-terrorism (ARC and GENESIS). He is also research active in the area of risk-taking, and behavioural interventions for reducing risk-taking. For example, he is the principal investigator on a Road Safety Authority (RSA) funded project on the use of in-vehicle phone application monitoring to moderate risky driving by young drivers (RISK-MONITOR).

Dr. Molly Byrne, Senior Research Lecturer and HRB Research Leader; Director, Health Behaviour Change Research Group, School of Psychology, NUI Galway

Molly’s research has primarily been in developing health behaviour interventions (e.g. secondary prevention of heart disease; self-management of diabetes) within health care settings. She works with a number of multidisciplinary research teams, and is interested in the processes involved in developing behavioural interventions and testing these in real world settings. She has managed a number of randomized controlled trials of behavioural interventions and has published her work widely.

Molly was awarded a HRB Research Leader Award in 2013 and since January 2014 has held a full-time research leadership role at the School of Psychology, as Director of the Health Behaviour Change Research Group.

Dr Denis O'Hora

Can how we choose tell us about why we choose? This question drives Denis’ research in learning and decision-making. Taking advantage of high-density data captured by modern computers, such as computer mouse cursor movement and data from the Wii remote control, this work addresses fundamental issues such as the continuous updating of our evaluations of the world around us. Beyond the laboratory, Denis works to enhance decision-making in challenging environments, especially in the context of worker safety.

Dr Jim Duggan, Vice-Dean of Research and Graduate Studies, College of Engineering and Informatics.

Jim’s main research interests are the application of informatics, modelling and simulation to support public health policy formulation and targeted interventions. He is Project Leader for Ireland’s first participatory surveillance system for influenza monitoring, and is part of an EU-wide initiative to track – in real time - the spread of seasonal flu. He is collaborating on a number of public health initiatives, including: the design of mHealth applications to support wellbeing, long-term capacity analysis of Ireland’s health system, and the use of exploratory data analysis to diagnose diabetes self-management strategies.

Dr Oya Beyan

Oya’s research has focused on using semantic web technologies and big data analytics to develop personalized health solutions. In today’s data-intensive world, the landscape of the health care is changing from ’diagnose & treat’ to ’predict & pre-empt’. Oya’s works is to integrate and analyse the diverse data sources to find new insights for holistic representation of health including genomic, environmental and behavioural determinants. Her main interest is in knowledge processing, patient empowerment, and ethical & privacy aspects.

Ms Eimear Morrissey, PhD student, Structured PhD in Psychology and Health, School of Psychology, NUI Galway.

Ms Lisa Hynes, PhD student, Structured PhD in Psychology and Health, School of Psychology, NUI Galway

Lisa completed a degree in psychology and a Masters degree in health psychology at NUI, Galway. As part of a research project to improve outcomes for young adults with Type 1 diabetes, Lisa is conducting a mixed methods project to develop and test a theory of clinic attendance in order to inform the design of a complex intervention to improve attendance and engagement at young adult diabetes clinics in Ireland. She is interested in the impact of the environment and inequality in determining health, health psychology across the lifespan, and health service delivery.

Ms Aoife Kervick, PhD student, School of Psychology, NUI Galway.

Aoife’s research aims to improve outcomes for young, at-risk drivers. Her PhD work evaluates the use of novel smartphone applications as a tool in moderating young driver risk-taking behaviour. Her research at NUI Galway has involved modelling and testing young drivers’ acceptance of such new technology, and currently examines the behavioural impacts of using these applications in simulated driving environments (both short and long-term use). A bursary from the Road Safety Authority of Ireland funds this research project.

Title of study: A Web-based Tailored Program for Disease-free Cancer Survivors with Cancer-related Fatigue: A Randomized Controlled Trial
Principal investigator: Ms. Teresa Corbett
Co-applicants: Dr. Jane Walsh, Dr. Brian McGuire, Dr. Annmarie Groarke.
Funding amount: €85,000
Programme aim: This study aims to answer the following questions:

What is the current state of the literature relating to interventions for cancer related fatigue in post-treatment cancer survivors?
What are the illness perceptions of cancer survivors with persistent fatigue? (Focus groups)
Is an online cognitive behavioural intervention more effective than a usual care control condition in reducing fatigue as measured by the Multidimensional Fatigue Inventory (MFI)? (Pilot RCT)
The goal of this research is to create achievable solutions that can be incorporated into the daily life of survivors, leading to more successful long-term implementation. This project will add to our existing knowledge of the area in several ways:
Providing an extensive interdisciplinary analysis of the potential psychological correlates of CRF.
A study of the psychosocial mechanisms involved in the experience of cancer patients.
Evaluating an intervention that could greatly improve quality of life in cancer survivors
It is hypothesised that an online cognitive behavioural intervention- based on previous research- will reduce fatigue in survivors of cancer.
