Tara O’Brien

Tara O'Brien's work focuses on kidney (renal) disease care, particularly how patients manage their health after kidney transplants, and on the use of mobile health apps and remote monitoring tools to support conditions like hypertension. A parallel line of work looks at health professions education, including nursing curricula, interprofessional simulation training, and how to prepare medical trainees for clinical practice. Much of the research also touches on social determinants of health (non-medical factors like income or access to care that affect health outcomes) and on care delivery models such as virtual care and reducing unnecessary emergency department visits.

Publication output rose to a peak around 2019-2020 and has since gradually declined to a more moderate, steady pace of about 4-6 papers per year in recent years.
