Human-centred
digital health

I design and build digital health products that make health information easier to use in everyday life and clinical practice.

Master's student in Innovative Technology for Healthy Living at KTH Royal Institute of Technology, Stockholm.

How I work

From health needs to usable technology

I take digital health products from early problem framing to working prototypes. That means understanding users and workflows, shaping the product, designing the interface, and building something people want to use in their routines.

UX and co-design

Interviews and workshops with users, patients and clinicians, analysed into themes I can design from.

UI Design

Prototypes, user flows, and accessible interfaces, designed in Figma and tested with real users.

Product and workflow thinking

Turning findings into scope: what to build, for whom, and where it fits a clinical workflow.

Software and prototypes

Building web and mobile experiences in Flutter, Swift, and Python to test ideas in practice.

Data and ML

Cleaning, analysing, and visualising data to explore patterns and support clearer decisions.

Evaluation and iteration

Using feedback, testing, and technical checks to improve the next version.
