Bridve Sivakumar Successfully Defends PhD Dissertation

We are delighted to announce that Bridve Sivakumar has successfully defended her PhD dissertation on April 8th in the Faculty of Health Sciences at Ontario Tech University.

Bridve’s research, titled "Co-design and evaluation of a mHealth intervention to enhance dietary self-management and adherence in patients with heart failure," explored the needs, motivations, and challenges of patient and health care providers in using apps for heart failure management. Her research included the co-design, development, and user-testing of a mobile app to support dietary education and adherence among patients with heart failure.

Please join us in congratulating Bridve on this outstanding achievement! We wish her continued success as she completes her Postdoctoral Fellowship at Women’s College Hospital, University of Toronto.
