About me

I am a researcher on Health Informatics at the Health Informatics Centre [1],
Department of Learning, Informatics, Management and Ethics, Karolinska
Institutet [2] (LIME). Also, I am course director and teacher for "Computer
applications in health care and biomedicine" and "Standardisation within
Health Informatics" courses, in the Master´s Programme in Health Informatics
[3].
I hold both a M.Sc. in Electronic Engineering (2000) and a Ph.D. degree in
Bioengineering (2004) from the Politecnico di Milano, Milano, Italy. I got
into the fields of Medical Informatics and e-Health in 2001.

Research

My early research was about the management of large archives of Medical
Images, especially the pictures of the Visible Human Dataset of the US
National Library of Medicine. Then, my research activity focused on the
development of modeling of systems and processes of Consumer Health
Informatics/Personal Health Informatics (e.g. personal and family health
record systems).
In addition, my research interest has been focused on the development of
models and for implementing systems concerning the improvement of medical
lexicons devoted to or owned by the Consumer /Patient.
Recently, as the huge amount of released mobile health apps, I have
investigated strategies for a comprehensive user-oriented identification of
medical apps.
