Mudassir Imran Mustafa

I am a researcher in the CIRCLE - Complex Intervention Research in Health and Care, where I lead a design research project focused on developing a digital platform to support healthcare research. My expertise spans the intersection of information systems and health informatics, with a particular emphasis on building digital healthcare infrastructures that facilitate research in healthcare settings.

In addition, I serve as the Team Lead and Solutions Architect for the U-CARE Platform.

I am a design researcher with a multidisciplinary background and a strong foundation in Information Systems, and Health Informatics. My primary research interests include the design and development of innovative IT artifacts, focusing on digital platforms for healthcare research, eHealth, and clinical research informatics. I am passionate about exploring user-centered design, co-design methodologies, and design science research principles to create impactful and sustainable solutions for complex problems in healthcare and technology.

Ongoing Research: Designing a Digital Platform for Healthcare Research

As a design researcher, I am leading the design and development of the U-CARE Platform, an advanced eHealth infrastructure for delivering and evaluating internet-based interventions and conducting clinical research. This project employs a design science research approach to address challenges in healthcare research by iteratively designing, developing, and evaluating a digital platform.

The U-CARE Platform is a research artifact that integrates principles of user-centered design and co-design, involving stakeholders such as researchers, clinicians, and patients throughout the development process. The platform aims to support diverse study types, adapt to future research needs, and tackle key challenges in digital healthcare research by leveraging innovative technologies and methodologies. This work contributes to the field by refining design principles and demonstrating their application in real-world healthcare settings.
