IMPACTS Lab is pleased to welcome Madeline Shivgulam to the team. Madeline is a PhD student at Dalhousie University, co-supervised by Dr. Myles O’Brien of Université de Sherbrooke and Dr. Olga Theou of Dalhousie University. Her doctoral studies focus on physical activity and exercise among older adults in long-term and hospital care settings.

Madeline will work with Pr O’Brien and colleagues on several research projects including Preventing and Managing Frailty in Hospital by Mobilizing Patients and Establishing Mobile Aging Assessments in New Brunswick’s Long-Term Care Residents. ​Her research background focuses on improving health outcomes for older adults through interventions such as community- and clinical-based exercise and physical activity programs, with a particular emphasis on frailty and cardiovascular health.

Madeline enjoys spending time with her family and being active. As a former competitive swimmer, Madeline is already in great demand by her colleagues at Lab IMPACTS who are interested in improving their swimming technique and performance. Welcome to the team Madeline!
