Janet Hanley

Dr. Janet Hanley is an Associate Professor at Edinburgh Napier University's School of Health and Social Care. Her research focuses on digital health innovations for chronic disease management, particularly telemonitoring systems for hypertension, COPD, and cardiovascular conditions. She leads implementation studies examining scalability, data linkage, and clinical workflows in primary care settings.

Research Interests: Her work spans:

• eHealth Interventions - Designing telemonitoring systems for blood pressure and respiratory conditions
• Implementation Science - Scaling evidence-based telehealth in routine care
• Public Health Informatics - Data linkage methods for outcome evaluation
• Chronic Disease Management - Self-management strategies for hypertension and COPD

Publication Focus: Analysis of 15 recent articles reveals consistent themes: telemedicine efficacy during pandemics (2024), diagnostic tool validation (2019), implementation barriers (2018), and economic evaluations of remote monitoring (2017). Methodologies combine qualitative insights from patients/providers with quantitative health data analysis.

Doctoral Supervision:

• Bruce Harper-McDonald (2019-present): District nursing team workflows
• Ailsa Sharp (2015-2019): Wound infection assessment protocols

Research Funding: Major grants include:

• British Heart Foundation (2020-2024): £194,845 for BP telemonitoring impact analysis
• Chief Scientist Office (2019-2023): £283,191 for atrial fibrillation medication adherence
