Enzo is a PhD student at The Dartmouth Institute for Health Policy and Clinical Practice and a Predoctoral Fellow at the Center for Technology and Behavioral Health. He is interested in using smartphone applications and other digital health tools to help people manage their acute and chronic health conditions. His current research includes a randomized trial of a digital health intervention for young adults with type 1 diabetes with his advisor, Dr. Catherine Stanger. His emerging work includes developing a digital health application to provide resources for healthy stress management for emergency medical services providers. Enzo has a Bachelor’s Degree in Neuroscience from Boston University and a Professional Degree in Paramedicine from the University of Pittsburgh Center for Emergency Medicine. His free time is often spent traveling to new places or outside skiing, hiking, and biking around the northeast! He also continues to work clinically as a licensed paramedic in a nearby town which largely inspires his research interests.
