Biography

I do research on information systems, especially digital health topics. In my research, I focus on challenges related to the digital transformation in healthcare and the design of trustworthy artificial intelligence in healthcare. To do so, I employ behavioral and design-oriented information systems methods, as well as methods from the fields of medical informatics and computer science.
