Research Interests

I focus on designing complex socio-technical systems in the context of digital health, particularly for Cardiovascular disease (CVD) treatment and rehabilitation. As a Pre-Doc at Ludwig Boltzmann Institute for Digital Health and Prevention, I work with key stakeholders (mainly at the Landeskliniken Salzburg and Institut für Sportmedizin des Landes Salzburg), such as patients, clinicians and health informaticians, to design human-centred and accessible technologies which involve patient-generated health data. To investigate the interactions with health data, I adopt the principles of Human Data Interaction.
