Key publications include 'Digital contact tracing technologies in epidemics: a rapid review' (Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, 2020), cited over 1900 times; 'Integrating smartphone technology, social support and the outdoor physical environment to improve fitness among adults at risk of, or diagnosed with, type 2 diabetes: findings from the eCoFit randomized controlled trial' (Preventive Medicine, 2017); 'Consumer perception and behaviour related to low-alcohol wine: do people overcompensate?' (Public Health Nutrition, 2020); 'Physical activity intervention for rural middle-aged and older Australian adults: a pilot implementation study of the eCoFit program' (Pilot and Feasibility Studies, 2021); and recent systematic reviews on learning health systems and implementation barriers (2025-2026).
