Vess Stamenova
Vess Stamenova is Assistant Professor of IT Management at the Ted Rogers School of Management, Toronto Metropolitan University, and Adjunct Scientist at Women’s College Hospital. She studies how technology is used in the healthcare system with a focus on clinical informatics (technology used in patient care) and telemedicine.
Vess 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, including immigrants. She uses mixed-methods research, including qualitative, quantitative and population-based health administrative studies. Her research ultimately feeds back into supporting organizational and policy decisions around the use of virtual care.
