Biography 

Dr. Feldacker is a highly-experienced global health program evaluator and implementation scientist with an interest in integrating appropriate digital technologies into routine health programs. Her work focuses on generating quality data for effective program monitoring and evaluation (M&E) and leveraging this M&E data to improve patient outcomes. Her research portfolio includes HIV, TB, digital health, and male circumcision -- testing innovations that reduce provider workload and maintain patient safety at lower cost. Dr. Feldacker collaborates closely with in-country research partners in Zimbabwe, South Africa, Kenya, Malawi, and Mozambique to inform evidence-based programming and to scale successful interventions for maximum impact.
