Dr. Radovic is an Assistant Professor of Pediatrics and Associate Fellowship Director, Adolescent Medicine, UPMC Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh. Dr. Radovic focuses on how to use technology to improve mental health services for adolescents with symptoms of depression or anxiety. She has studied primary care provers attitudes toward approaching shared decision making with parents; the use of electronic order sets and screening decision aids to improve the integration of behavioral health services in primary care settings; and the impacts of social media and technology use in depressed adolescents and their parents. Her team has developed a website intervention for teens with symptoms of depression or anxiety – sova.pitt.edu – which aims to allow adolescents to anonymously share their stories in a safe space, counteract negative attitudes toward treatment, and provide opportunities for social support. Dr. Radovic collaborates with a small business and experts in computer sciences to study the effects of a mobile application that uses passive sensing to provide feedback to adolescents with depression.
