Dr. Annemiek Linn is an Associate Professor in Health Communication at the University of Amsterdam's Faculty of Social and Behavioural Sciences. Her research focuses on patient-provider communication, technology integration in healthcare, and improving health outcomes through tailored interventions. She specializes in areas such as online health information seeking, medication adherence, and falls prevention in older adults. Linn has led projects like the SNOWDROP initiative, leveraging big data and AI to reduce medication-related fall risks. Her work bridges behavioral theory and health technology design, emphasizing user-centered approaches. She has collaborated on clinical decision support systems (CDSS) and patient portals, aiming to enhance healthcare professional workflows and patient empowerment. Linn's research spans oncology, chronic disease management, and gerontology, with a strong emphasis on translating evidence into practical tools for healthcare providers.
Her educational background includes expertise in health communication and behavioral science, though specific degrees are not detailed in the provided texts. Key research themes include the convergence of mass and interpersonal health communication, the impact of trust on medication adherence, and the role of digital tools in patient-provider interactions. Linn’s contributions to systematic reviews and cluster randomized trials highlight her methodological rigor in evaluating interventions' effectiveness.
Notable projects include developing the TRIAGE tool for identifying medication problems in community pharmacies and investigating barriers to discussing online health information during clinical consultations. She has also explored implicit attitudes towards medications among rheumatoid arthritis patients and healthcare professionals. Linn’s work often addresses interdisciplinary collaboration, particularly in multidisciplinary care pathways for falls prevention and optimizing complex care through AI algorithms.
Her research outputs emphasize practical applications, such as the ADFICE_IT CDSS for deprescribing and the SNOWDROP patient portal. These innovations reflect her commitment to improving healthcare systems through technology and evidence-based strategies. Linn’s publications frequently address gaps in healthcare communication, aiming to enhance patient engagement and provider effectiveness across diverse populations.
