Brief biography
Julia Manning is a Teaching Fellow in Digital Health in the Department of Computer Science at UCL. Her PhD at UCLIC was funded by the EPSRC to investigate real world deployment of digital health interventions to support teachers' self-management of stress under the supervision of Prof Ann Blandford.
Julia originally trained as an optometrist, specialising in diabetes and low vision community services, working at the Royal Free Hospital and at City University as a visiting lecturer. She pioneered digital domiciliary services with Prof David Thomson's vision assessment software and was the first optometrist appointed to Lambeth PCT's professional executive committee. She then founded the think tank 2020health, working with the health, life science and technology sectors directing the research, launch and dissemination of more than 50 strategic policy papers. Whilst at 2020health she co-founded the Health Technology Awards with Axa PPP and the Design Museum which ran from 2015-2019. She is the President-Elect of the Royal Society of Medicine Digital Health Council (2023-2025) and is committed harnessing digital health potential to improve patient care without compromising privacy or creating isolation.
