Helena Roy

I am a postdoc at the Hasso Plattner Institute, where I work in Professor Ariel Stern’s group on digital health, economics, and policy. I earned my PhD in Economics from Stanford University, and previously studied at Cambridge and Oxford.

I research novel information technologies and delivery modalities in healthcare, with a focus on physician and patient behavior. I also actively work with health‑tech start‑ups.

Alongside my research, I'm a fellow at the Centre for British Progress, exploring how policy can encourage economic growth via innovation. An example of my work in this space can be found at UK Day One.

I'm from the UK and Aotearoa New Zealand, and enjoy triathlon and flat whites.
