About me

I am a postdoc researcher at Karolinska Institutet with a researcg focus on pediatric emergency medicine and patient safety. Central is the assessment of vital signs in triage, patient follow-up and prediction of clinical deterioration. I pursue a residency in pediatric medicine and teach at the medical program as well as the Center for Advanced Medical Simulation for pediatrics.

Research

Research Interests surround the use of vital signs in triage and patient follow up. This also includes the development of clinical tools, such as pediatruc ealry warning scores (PEWS) and the evaluation of these in various clinical settings.
