I'm Dr. Maria Alejandra Pinero de Plaza, PhD, a scientist dedicated to facilitating healthy living and improving public health services. I strive to empower researchers, clinicians, industry professionals, and consumers to design, measure, and achieve meaningful health and social impacts. With a solid background in mixed methods, experimental design, and evaluation, I focus on identifying and demonstrating how interventions, healthcare services, and technology can enhance choice, inclusion, voice, justice, health, and well-being. My passion lies in care and social networks, technology, and methods that drive behavioural change. As an advocate for evidence-based research, I am actively involved with the JBI Evidence Implementation Network and serve on two JBI expert reference groups focused on Cardiovascular and Aged Care. I enjoy contributing to the body of knowledge through publishing. Over the years, I have developed more than 81 research outputs.
