Bio/Research
Dr. Vess Stamenova is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Information Technology Management at the Ted Rogers School of Management at Toronto Metropolitan University.
She studies how technology is used in the healthcare system with a focus on virtual care (e.g. patient-provider video, phone or messaging), remote patient monitoring, patient portals or self-management apps. She is interested in understanding how the use of technology impacts patients and healthcare providers experience, patient outcomes, cost to the healthcare system, and access to care across various vulnerable patient populations.
Dr. Stamenova uses various research methods. She studies barriers and facilitators to technology adoption through qualitative, quantitative and mixed-methods research. She in turn uses these findings to develop new models of technology enabled care using methods such as value proposition design. She also conducts population-based cohort studies using health administrative data to evaluate the effectiveness and impact of technologies on patients, providers and the healthcare system. Her research ultimately feeds back into supporting organizational and policy decisions around the use of virtual care.
Prior to this, she was working as a Research Lead at the Centre for Digital Health Evaluation at Women’s College Hospital Research Institute. There, she was conducting large program evaluations of various eHealth and digital health provincial programs implemented across Ontario. Her evaluations were supported by funding from the Ministry of Health, Ontario Health and Health Canada.
Dr. Stamenova also has a strong clinically applied research experience, having worked in the field of cognitive neuroscience and clinical neuropsychology. She has a PhD in Neuroscience and Rehabilitation Science from University of Toronto and has completed Postdoctoral Fellowships in the field of Cognitive Rehabilitation at the Department of Psychology, University of Ottawa and Baycrest’s Rotman Research Institute.
