My thesis contained studies on patients with heart failure and self-care
behaviour and management with focus on interactive patient education
and remote monitoring. A qualitative study, focusing patients perception of
remonte monitoring, was also included in my thesis. After my dissertation I
have been involved i new studies where we are testing if computer tablets can
be used in order to strenghten self-care behaviour.

I have continued with resarch in heart failurebut also in patients with

Myocardial infarction with non-obstructive coronary arteries (MINOCA) and 

Takotsubo syndrome (broken heart). I have also been involved in research in

Covid-19 as well as pedagogical resarch focusing on feedback in education.
