Research Interests

  • Evidence-Based Medicine

    It is crucial for healthcare professionals to use evidence-based medicine to make informed decisions and improve patient care. Dr Lee is interested in the use of synthesised evidence among healthcare professionals, specifically in digital healthcare professionals' education.

  • Healthcare professionals' information-seeking and education via digital interventions

    The science of medicine is primarily reliant on information. To improve the delivery of healthcare services in a country, healthcare professionals' information needs and information-seeking behaviour need to be understood. Smartphones are increasingly being used in healthcare settings, and internet connectivity on smartphones has made them the new information gateway. As such, Dr Lee is interested in the role of digital tools in delivering interventions as well as accessing information among healthcare professionals.
