Jennifer O’Neil is a physiotherapist and assistant professor in the physiotherapy program of the School of Rehabilitation Sciences at the University of Ottawa. Her research program focuses on improving access to effective rehabilitation interventions with innovative service delivery methods. Using technology, her doctoral thesis examined the implementation of intensive home-based telerehabilitation programs for people living with a moderate or severe traumatic brain injury. Since then, she has investigated the implementation of a telehealth fall prevention program for francophone communities living in minority situations across Canada (Marche vers le futur). She guided an international participatory research planning project in Uganda and continues to explore the use of telerehabilitation for people living with neurological conditions in Canada and abroad. From a global health perspective, using participatory approaches and mixed methodology, Professor O’Neil aims to improve health equity and access to rehabilitation services globally.
