Research summary
AI-generated

Christa Teston studies how language, evidence, and communication shape healthcare and medicine, including topics like medical decision-making, health technology (such as AI and mobile health tools), and issues of fairness and dignity in patient care. Her work often examines how doctors, patients, and institutions use rhetoric (persuasive or explanatory language) and visual evidence to navigate uncertainty in medical contexts. This research sits at the intersection of communication studies, medical humanities, and professional/technical writing.
