about

I am currently pursuing a Master’s degree in Business Administration in Digital Health at Savonia University of Applied Sciences in Finland. My interest in digital health comes from my passion for healthcare and my belief that technology can play an important role in improving the way healthcare is delivered. My studies have given me the opportunity to explore the relationship between healthcare, technology, business, and innovation. I am particularly interested in digital health solutions, healthcare management, health technology, digital transformation, and the development of services that can make healthcare more accessible and effective. I enjoy learning, researching new ideas, and understanding how digital technologies can be applied to solve real challenges in healthcare. I am also interested in entrepreneurship and exploring opportunities to develop practical digital health solutions that can create value for patients, healthcare professionals, and organisations. My goal is to use the knowledge and experience gained from my MBA in Digital Health to contribute to meaningful changes in healthcare and to be part of the growing digital transformation of the health sector.
