DR. RONKE PEDERSON

User centered design allows us to design digital health apps using principles that ensure applications are user friendly and accessible. I provide expertise in approaching design methods using evidence based methods.

With the advent of more widespread acceptance of artificial intelligence within health systems, understanding the role AI may play in widening health disparities, I offer strategies to ensure our use of AI reduces risk to patients and clinicians within health systems.

Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Accessibility are principles that have made our institutions stronger, fostering an environment that prioritizes DEIA efforts will help improve the lives of everyone, young and old.

I work to promote diversity and representation in our health systems through community engagement. Clinical research often lacks diversity, I bring my longstanding expertise in community engagement to improve the wellbeing of those often left out of clinical innovations at an individual, institutional and structural level. I design educational modules to enhance training on DEIA principles for individuals and institutions.

Understanding mental health at the local, State and National level is an ongoing goal for our current society. As a psychiatrist, I work with people at all levels to make mental health more accessible for all.

I provide educational talks and presentations on mental health and wellness.

I design courses on mental health for the lay public as well as professionals both in and outside of healthcare.

Corporations often need to consider their mental health culture, I work with organization to develop sustainable structures that prioritize health and wellbeing.
