Yunan Chen, Principle Investigator
Associate Professor of Informatics, University of California Irvine
Inspired by my own experience and training, I am interested in the interplay between information, people, organization, and technology in healthcare. I study how different stakeholders in healthcare access, document, share and make sense of complex health data and information in their personal, professional, and social contexts. I am particularly interested in how these activities are mediated, communicated, coordinated, and supported through technological tools from the socio-technical perspective.
