Background

Jacki Liddle is a research fellow and occupational therapist researching quality of life, participation and life transitions. She uses innovative technology, along with qualitative and quantitative research methods to investigate the needs and experiences of people living with neurological conditions (dementia, Parkinson's disease, stroke), older people and their caregivers. She has worked with a multi-disciplinary team co-designing technology with people living with dementia and their care partners to support communication. Currently, she is in a conjoint position with Princess Alexandra Hospital, supporting the development, conduct and application of research that improves outcomes for patients.

She has also been involved in developing technology to measure outcomes including lifespace, time use, and activity and role participation to help monitor and improve community outcomes. Dr Liddle's PhD focused on researching the experiences related to retirement from driving for older people, which led to the development of the CarFreeMe program to improve outcomes related to driving cessation. Versions of the program for older drivers, people living with dementia and people with traumatic brain injury have been developed and trialled.

Research impacts

Jacki's research has focussed on developing understandings of complex issues which lead to real changes in assessment, treatment and community lives. She has developed a driving cessation intervention (CarFreeMe) and contributed to the development of smartphone based remote monitoring systems for measuring community outcomes of people living with health conditions, and a technology-based system codesigned with people living with dementia and their care partners to support communication and participation. Her current work directly impacts the practice of occupational therapists and clinical teams, and outcomes for patients in a tertiary hospital setting.
