Matt-Mouley Bouamrane is a Lecturer in eHealth / Health Informatics at the University Of Strathclyde, in the Digital Health & Wellness Systems Group at the Department of Computer and Information Sciences (CIS). His research interests include:

• Sociotechnical research on integrated care pathways & information management processes in perioperative medicine / elective surgery (Chief Scientist Office of the Scottish Government Health and Social Care Directorates Fellowship PDF/09/09 – 2010-2013)
• The implementation and evaluation of large scale eHealth systems and initiatives, such as the Innovate UK Delivering Assisted Living Lifestyles at Scale programme ( dallas programme evaluation co-investigator with Prof. Frances Mair, University of Glasgow and Dr. Marilyn Lennon, University of Strathclyde, 2012-2015)
• Knowledge engineering technologies for medical information management and decision support at the point of care (Knowledge Transfer partnership with Prof. Alan Rector at the Bio-Informatics group, University of Manchester, 2007-2010).

Dr Bouamrane joined General Practice and Primary Care at the University Of Glasgow in February 2010 as a CSO Research Fellow in Health Informatics and the Health Services Research, working with Professor Frances Mair on the development of information systems for the integration across primary and secondary care in Scotland of the preoperative assessment of patients prior to surgery.

He graduated as a Bachelor of Electronic Engineering at the Université de Paris-XI, Orsay, followed by a postgraduate diploma in computer engineering (2003) and a PhD in computer science (2006) at the University of Dublin, Trinity College, where he was a member of the Artificial Intelligence Group (AIG). His doctoral research consisted of developing information access and retrieval methods and systems for remote web-based meetings in collaboration with Dr Saturnino Luz.

From 2007 until 2010, Dr Bouamrane was a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Manchester within the bio-informatics group of Professor Alan Rector in a knowledge transfer project, working on the development of a knowledge-based preoperative decision support system in partnership with a Scottish SME, Informatics-CIS.

Dr Bouamrane is a member of the EPSRC Digital Inclusion Cluster which promotes the design of digital technology for older and special needs users, and other digitally disenfranchised groups.
