My core scientific contribution is in the intersection of computer science and behavioral science within a common focus on supporting people living with chronic conditions. Further, Global Digital Health is my vocation and research and innovation my passion. I enjoy advocating and communicating on how digital health can transform our healthcare and ultimately empower people if we do it right.
I am currently involved in launching a new digital therapeutics startup combining AI and behavioral science in unique ways.
As Chief Scientific Officer, my role is to bring 15+ years of experience in digital health research to our solutions aim at empowering people with chronic conditions. We believe, if done properly, digital therapeutics will increase human health equity by focusing on the people rather than strictly on the chronic conditions.
During my 15 years of experience in digital health, I have been involved in real-world digital health initiatives in Europe, Asia, Americas and Africa. In particular, I have been studying how to use web, mobile and wearable technologies to support patient self-management. I have had the honor to work with leading academics, clinicians, pharmaceutical companies, patient advocates and HealthTech companies across the globe.
