Alice Spann
Mag., BSc, MPH
Alice holds a BSc in Nursing and a master’s degree in Nursing Science from the University of Vienna. Having worked as a nurse for three years at a hospital in Vienna, she decided to get back into academia and completed her master’s degree in Public Health at the University of Edinburgh in 2017. Her dissertation focused on older people’s views and experiences with mHealth.
Alice’s interest in the potential of technology to improve the quality and accessibility of care led her to the Sustainable Care programme here at the University of Sheffield. She is currently pursuing her PhD which is focused on the potential role of technology to support working carers.
