Education
- PhD 2016 - Health Informatics, Karolinska Institute. Title: From Chaos to Clarity: Designing eHealth to Support Self-management in Stroke Care 

- MSc 2010 - Medical Informatics, Karolinska Institute (KI) and Royal Institute of Technology (KTH)

My research focuses on innovative health information technologies that prioritize the needs of both healthcare professionals and patients. My research interests lie in advancing Human-Centered Health Informatics, with a particular emphasis on Participatory and Consumer Health Informatics. I explore how digital health solutions can empower individuals to take control of their health through accessible, intuitive technologies that promote self-care, enhance health literacy, and encourage active patient engagement. My research area includes collaborating with patients, healthcare providers, and other stakeholders to co-design and evaluate digital health solutions. This collaborative approach ensures that technologies are not only effective and adaptable but also tailored to the unique needs of both patients and clinicians. Through my work, I aim to improve healthcare delivery, enhance health outcomes, increase user satisfaction, and contribute to creating a more efficient, inclusive, and accessible healthcare system.
