Biography

Kay Connelly is an Associate Professor in the School of Informatics at Indiana University. Her research interests are in the intersection of mobile and pervasive computing and healthcare. In particular, she is interested in issues that influence user acceptance of health technologies, such as privacy, integration into one's lifestyle, convenience, and utility. Dr. Connelly works with a variety of patient groups, including very sick populations who need help in managing their disease, healthy populations interested in preventative care, and senior citizens looking to remain in their homes for as long as possible. Dr. Connelly is the Senior Associate Director for the Center for Applied Cybersecurity Research, and has recently taken the challenge to start a new Health Informatics program at Indiana University. Dr. Connelly received a B.S. in Computer Science and Mathematics from Indiana University (1995), and an MS (1999) and Ph.D. (2003) in Computer Science from the University of Illinois.
