About me

  • I am a medical informatician with a PhD in Medical Science from Karolinska Institutet. My research interest broadly concerns the opportunities of using medical and health informatics to achieve the Quadruple Aim – improving the individual experience of care, improving the health of populations, reducing the per capita cost of healthcare, and improving the experience of providing care.

Research

  • My current research projects focus on the use of eHealth services for enhancing partnership between persons living with chronic illness, caregivers, and their healthcare teams. I use mainly qualitative and participatory action research methodology to study how new eHealth services are co-designed, used, and experienced in clinical practice and individuals’ daily life.
