Dmitri S. Katz

Dmitri S. Katz works at the intersection of digital health and human-computer interaction, with research on diabetes self-management, patient-generated health data (PGHD), human-centred machine learning, digital support for older adults, and augmentative communication for people with complex communication needs. The Open University Digital Health Lab lists him as a Research Associate; the university directory uses the separate label Private / Honorary Fellow, so this profile does not turn the discrepancy into an unqualified employment claim. Representative work includes his 2019 Open University PhD in human-computer interaction, research on diabetes decision support, and 2024–2025 work on augmentative communication, pain logging, and PGHD-supported orthopaedic care.

This profile was reviewed on 2026-09-23. Detailed sources, old-value decisions, the OUPPS appointment discrepancy, and access limitations are recorded in persons/_review/137_Dmitri S.
