Ponrathi Athilingam, Ph.D., A.C.N.P., assistant professor of Clinical Nursing at the University of Rochester’s School of Nursing, was awarded the Heart Failure Society of America Nursing Investigator Award at the organization’s annual scientific meeting in Toronto last month. Athilingam was one of five finalists chosen to compete for the award. A nurse practitioner with the University of Rochester Medical Center’s Program in Heart Failure and Transplantation, she presented her dissertation research, titled “Montreal Cognitive Assessment May Be an Appropriate Tool to Assess Cognitive Dysfunction in Heart Failure,” for which she is proposing a longitudinal study to expand the research. For Leway Chen, M.D., M.P.H., director of the Program in Heart Failure and Transplantation, who works closely with Athilingam, the award was no surprise. “Pon is an amazingly dedicated nurse practitioner,” Chen said. “She was able to design, complete and analyze her study in a very short period of time. She is tireless, working full-time on the heart failure and transplantation unit, teaching full-time at the School of Nursing school, and conducting research. I foresee a tremendous academic career in her future.” Athilingam graduated from nursing school in India in the early 1970s, the first young woman in her village to go to nursing school. She went on to complete two master’s degrees, one in community health from the University of Liverpool in England, the other as part of the accelerated M.S./Ph.D. program at the University of Rochester’s School of Nursing. She was the first to graduate from this rigorous program that was started in 2002. She has been an employee of the University of Rochester Medical Center since 2000. Dr. Athilingam is an ANCC certified Acute care NP, and tenured research faculty, who works with heart failure patients. Her research is focused on technology-based interventions to improve self-care of patients with heart failure and thus reduce readmissions. Received funding from National Science Foundation Innovation-Corps award and Florida Hi-Tech Corridor in developing a mobile app called "HeartMapp". She has received numerous awards for her nursing practice and research including the "Nurse Investigator of the year 2008 from Heart Failure Society of America. She was named Fellow of the American Academy of Nurse Practitioners (FAANP) and Fellow of the Heart failure Society of America (FHFSA). Dr. Athilingam's current NIH funded SBIR grant is to test the "Usability and efficacy of the mobile app "HeartMapp" with Cognitive Training in improving self-care of patients with heart failure and the potential to commercialize HeartMapp.
