Gaya Bin Noon

Gaya Bin Noon is a PhD candidate in Public Health Sciences and the lab manager of the Ubiquitous Health Technology Lab. She also completed her undergraduate degree at the University of Waterloo, during which she was enrolled in the co-op program and worked in both the public and private sector, and originally enrolled in the MSc program before being approved to fast-track into the PhD program due to scholarly achievement.

Gaya’s research interests focus on digital health policy, particularly as it pertains to the care of older adults. Her dissertation focuses on standards and guidelines for active assisted living (AAL)-enabled smart homes to help older adults to remain in their homes and maintain independence for as long as possible. She is particularly interested in the clinical applications of AAL indicators, and exploring how these can be used by care providers to provide more personalized and data-informed care in outpatient settings.
