Teresa Harms

Teresa Harms serves as an Honorary Research Fellow in the Management and Organisations department at the UWA Business School, The University of Western Australia. Her academic work bridges business, health, and transportation research through innovative time-use methodologies.

Her research profile centers on Time Use, Travel Behavior, and Mixed Methods analysis, with significant contributions to understanding patient work in healthcare contexts and active travel patterns. The fingerprint of her work includes intersections with Self-Management, Comorbidity, and Organizational Methods, reflecting interdisciplinary applications across medical and urban planning domains.

Analysis of her 2018 publications reveals cohesive methodological threads: both studies leverage time-use data to examine behavioral patterns—one in healthcare settings exploring patient work through mixed methods, the other analyzing UK travel behavior using wearable technology. This demonstrates her signature approach of applying temporal frameworks to diverse real-world systems.

She contributed as Investigator 02 to the Healthway-funded Exploratory Research Grant Active travel: Using wearable technology to analyse daily travel behaviour (2018-2021), collaborating with D. Olaru, M. Rosenberg, and P. Hooper. This project generated substantial academic engagement with 125 Mendeley readers and social media coverage.
