Dr. Phillips’ research addresses physical activity and fall prevention in older adults and nursing home quality of care. Working on interdisciplinary teams, she tests and evaluates sensor technology to support aging-in-place. She has been funded by the John A. Hartford Foundation, NINR, Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services, and internal grants. Her teaching expertise includes quantitative research and meta-analysis methods. She serves as Treasurer for the National Hartford Center of Gerontological Nursing Excellence.
