Dr. Chew completed her PhD at the Chinese University of Hong Kong, becoming the youngest nurse in Singapore to obtain a PhD. She leads the Digital Behavioral Insights (DBI) Lab, which studies the intersection of digital phenotyping, health behaviors, and implementation science, with a special focus on cardiometabolic risk factors. Dr. Chew is also the first nurse to have received training in the Stanford Biodesign methodology as a Singapore Biodesign Innovation Fellow (FY23/24), which included immersion at regional and global centers such as Beijing and the United States.

Dr. Chew has developed multiple self-regulation programs, including the artificial intelligence-assisted eating triggers response inhibition program for personalized weight management. She has secured millions in competitive fundings and published over 70 peer-reviewed articles in high-impact journals including Journal of the American College of Cardiology, Journal of Medical Internet Research, and International Journal of Nursing Studies.  Her work has been recognized internationally, most recently with the Tatler Gen.T Leaders of Tomorrow 2025, the Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine Young Researcher of the Year Award (2025), and Stanford/Elsevier Top 2% Scientists list (2024). She currently serves as Associate Editor for JBI Evidence Implementation, Programme Lead for the NUHS Obesity Program NUS, member of the Singapore Association for the Study of Obesity (SASO) and member of the ALCNS Department Ethics Review Committee (DERC).
