ANG Ian Yi Han

I am currently Assistant Professor at Saw Swee Hock School of Public Health, National University of Singapore (NUS). I am also the Co-Director of the school’s Center for Health Intervention and Policy Evaluation Research (HIPER), overseeing the evaluation of various newly developed hospital interventions and community-based social service initiatives. My research focuses on evaluating community-based health interventions, healthcare services, and telehealth programs, and how these initiatives can improve patient experience and population health. I am also interested in exploring how the built environment can help communities improve their health, particularly through changes in nutrition, physical activity, and lifestyle behaviors.
