  • About

    Dr Amy McInerney is a postdoctoral research associate at the department of Population-Based Medicine at the University of Tübingen, where she lectures on the MSc programme. Her research uses digital monitoring devices (Oura smart rings, Garmin smartwatches, Continuous Glucose Monitors, and smartphones) to better understand physical and mental health comorbidity, with a focus on people with diabetes, prediabetes, obesity, and those attending rehabilitation. She uses novel techniques, such as digital phenotyping to assess daily changes in behaviour and mood, and network analysis to explore symptom-level interactions.
