Joana Cruz is an Adjunct Professor at the School of Health Sciences of the Polytechnic of Leiria (ESSLei) and a researcher at the Center for Innovative Care and Health Technology (ciTechCare), Portugal. She has a background in Physiotherapy (2007) and a Ph.D. in Health Sciences and Technology (2016, University of Aveiro). After finishing her PhD in 2016, she embarked on an international post-doc in a collaboration between the Universities of Aveiro (Portugal) and Toronto (Canada). Since then, she has been the PI of a funded project by FCT/COMPETE (OnTRACK) and a member of 9 funded projects. She is currently the PI of a project which aims to optimize a digital platform for physical activity promotion and another project exploring the impact of the coexistence of diabetes and COPD on patients' nutritional and functional status. She works in the area of Health Sciences with an emphasis on chronic respiratory diseases, particularly COPD and lung cancer, rehabilitation interventions, and physical activity assessment and promotion. In her professional activities, she has interacted with more than 50 collaborators in the co-authorship of scientific papers. She has published more than 70 articles in peer-reviewed journals, 4 book chapters, and 1 book. Joana is currently supervising three PhD students, co-supervising two PhD students (one international), and (co-)supervising four MSc theses. She has (co-)supervised six concluded MSc theses and the work she has been involved in has received 12 awards and/or honours. She is the Associate Editor of ERJ Open Research since 2020. From 2020-2023, she was the elected representative of Early Career Members (ECM) for the Allied Respiratory Professionals Assembly of the European Respiratory Society, where she was involved in organizing/chairing events and coordinating articles aimed at ECM focused on career development opportunities. She has been actively engaged in ERS activities since 2012, including presenting her work, chairing sessions, organizing events and participating as a faculty member in several courses. Her involvement in international initiatives is further underscored by her position in an international consortium on physical activity - she is the Deputy Leader of Deliverable 3.3 of the COST Action DE-PASS (https://depass.eu/), which aims to establish consistent terminology for physical activity behaviour determinants. In her Ciência Vitae, the most frequent terms are: chronic obstructive pulmonary disease; COPD; pulmonary rehabilitation; physical activity; daily inactivity; healthy behaviors; exercise assessment; exercise prescription; exercise training; measurement properties; and self-management.
