Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Güneş Koru's research focuses on improving healthcare quality and information technology adoption within healthcare settings. Koru has investigated methods for de-identifying health data to facilitate its use in research, examining datasets such as the Heritage Health Prize Claims Dataset and the Canadian national discharge abstract database. This work aims to enhance data quality to better support healthcare operations and decision-making.

Further research has explored the challenges and opportunities in home healthcare to facilitate the adoption of information technology, including an examination of home healthcare robot adoption using the UTAUT model. Koru also studies the application of technology in health promotion, as demonstrated by a Facebook-based obesity prevention program for Korean American adolescents. Koru has received funding from the NIH/National Institute on Aging for the H3IT: Home Healthcare, Hospice, and Information Technology Conference.
