As an academic, I work as a health informaticist with a background in philosophy. I've published more than 160 articles in peer-reviewed journals and books on healthcare. I am Associate Professor (Docent) at the Participatory eHealth and Health Data Research Group at Uppsala University, Sweden and Researcher at Digital Psychiatry, Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, Harvard Medical School, Boston, USA.

​​

During the past 20 years have held research appointments in departments of philosophy, medicine, psychology/cognitive science, & medical humanities in the UK, Germany, Ireland, Sweden, and Australia.
