Biography

Dr Sachiyo Ito-Jaeger is a Research Fellow at the National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR) Nottingham Biomedical Research Centre (BRC) Mental Health & Technology at the University of Nottingham.

Sachiyo's research focuses on two distinct but related research areas in Digital Mental Health (DMH). One of which examines how digital technologies can be used to improve the mental health and wellbeing of children and young people, using co-produced interventions such as animations and methods such as Soma Design. The other explores how digital mental health interventions can be developed, produced, implemented and evaluated responsibly using the Responsible Research and Innovation (RRI) approach.

Prior to joining the BRC, Sachiyo worked on the AHRC-funded, interdisciplinary project, investigating whether co-created online animations can promote mental health literacy (i.e., understanding mental health issues, reducing stigma, increasing help-seeking efficacy) among young people.

Before joining the University of Nottingham, Sachiyo worked as a post-doctoral researcher for the Karyn Purvis Institute of Child Development in the United States. She holds a PhD in Experimental Psychology specialising in Developmental Psychology and Social Psychology, as well as a BA in Psychology and a MA in Cognitive and Social Psychology.
