In my research, I study how different types of e-health tools, especially specially designed internet-based platforms, can be designed and used to provide good care to people living with some form of long-term physical illness and mental health problems.
Within the framework of the research group for digital health and care, I am researching how healthcare can use internet-based platforms to both treat mental health problems and provide support and nursing care to people who live with some sort of long-term physical illness and at the same time experience mental health problems. Examples of projects that I am working on right now are internet-based cognitive behavioural therapy for depression and anxiety adapted to people living with heart disease and support and educational programs aimed at people who are waiting for a kidney from a deceased donor.
Teaching
One of the great benefits with my work is to have the privileged to teach students that will be tomorrow's professional staff in healthcare. In addition, having the privilege of meeting students at undergraduate, advanced and postgraduate levels is, if you ask me, a bit of the “icing on the cake” when it comes to my job.
