Biography
Dr. Mentis investigates situated communication and collaboration practices in healthcare, and, in turn, develops and deploys new mechanisms for collaboratively sensing, presenting and interacting with information. She conducts her research through a sociotechnical lens – one in which we cannot extricate technical systems from ‘being in the world’. Her process is to engage those not often prioritized in the digital health design process to counter hegemonic discourse and oftentimes making the invisible work visible.
