Gabrielle Saunders

Gabrielle (Gaby) is the Director of Manchester Centre for Audiology and Deafness (ManCAD), Co-Lead of the Hearing Health Theme of the National Institute for Health and Care Research Manchester Biomedical Research, and Trustee of the British Society of Audiology. Her research focuses on auditory rehabilitation and is broadly designed to optimize outcomes of hearing-related interventions, including teleaudiology, hearing screening, assistive technology and education, taking advantage of knowledge that can be gained from the lived experience of people with hearing loss and their families, as well as mobile technology and big data sets. Her research is underpinned by the principles of family-centered care and health behavior psychology. She hopes her research will contribute towards making clinical care more evidence-based, family-centered, and personalized.
