Oleg Zaslavsky PhD, MHA, RN, FAAN, FGSA

I’m Dr. Oleg Zaslavsky, Associate Professor and Director of the Digital Health Innovation Hub at the University of Washington. My work focuses on leveraging digital health to enhance care, particularly for older adults and those with cognitive challenges. I develop accessible digital solutions aimed at improving the well-being of these populations and their caregivers. My federally and foundation funded research emphasizes the creation of digital interventions that support fulfilling lives amidst age-related challenges, driven by the belief that older adults can lead empowered lives. My commitment is to advance user-friendly, evidence-based digital health tools tailored to the unique needs of aging individuals and their care partners.
