Combining process, technology and knowledge to get to better data. Assist those working in clinical research make better use of their primary asset, the clinical data.

Driven by a passion to improve the utility of clinical trial data and metadata to support reuse.I developed and advanced AZ ClinicalTrials 2016-2024, a data integration layer and application to describe and search 25000+ trials. It was based on my learnings back in 2007-2009 from designing a ISO/IEC 11179 based metadata repository (MDR)—the implementation of it failed. One of the key learnings was that we started in the wrong end: Before detailed metadata about the data—we first needed to be able to search information about all our trials, encode what the informed consents say about how data can be used, understand what scientists want to do with the data, what have been done already in earlier analyses, and point to where different sets of data are located. These are all aspects which need to be considered to take informed decisions when reusing data and are all supported by AZ ClinicalTrials.I worked in different parts of the organisation: R&D Information Architecture, Clinical Informatics, Clinical Information Strategy, and Enterprise Information Architecture. A common theme for me moving back and forth between "Business" and "IT" has been knowledge building and sharing. By following scientific developments, public discussions and raising internal awareness about opportunities and challenges in applying general data standars, such as unique identifiers (URIs/PIDs), and specific ones, such as CDISC SDTM.I was engaged in several cross-industry initiatives: Innovative Medicines Initiative's (IMI) Electronic Health Records for Clinical Research (EHR4CR), W3C's Health Care and Life Science (HCLS) interest group for semantic web, Open Biomedical Ontologies (OBO) community, and Clinical Data Interchange Standards Consortium (CDISC). My engagements resulted in a number of public and internal articles and blog posts, e.g. "Smart Program Design Through a Common Information Model", and "Global, persistent and resolvable identifiers for clinical data".

Industrial PhD student in the Department of Informatics, Göteborg Univerisity and the IT University. PhLic degree in Informatics, 2001, in the research area of Computer Supported Cooperative Work (CSCW).My research in the Mobile Informatics group concerned the mechanisms needed to provide highly mobile professionals, such as news journalists, with contextualized information using mobile applications: "Mobile Newsmaking". Supervised master theses on federated search for intranet content, topic map driven information navigation for cardiovascular research, semantic web standards for AZ Glossary, and entity extraction from news content.In 2006-2007 I defined the Information Infrastructure research area, part of a Medical Informatics Center for clinical research and health care.

Our research in the Mobile Informatics group on the opportunities in providing an "instant context for the task at hand" for highly mobile professionals was the basis for the start-up company I started together with research colleagues and two joint venture capital companies in late 1999. Five employees developed a first version of FieldWise, a commercial knowledge management platform for mobile work domains, with a planned implementation for the news journalism domain. However, we were way too early - 7 years before iPhone and Android apps.

Information Architect with assignments in information intensive industries working with customers such as Svenska Dagbladet and Volvo Group. Trend Watcher focusing on enablers for intranets, portals and e-business including metadata standards, terminologies, XML standards for mobile devices and early semantic web applications.

Data Modeler and Application Developer in different business areas: HR, Transportation Systems, Production Planning and CAE. Account Manager for the delivery of IT services and development to Volvo Trucks' Product Development and to Volvo BusProject Leader for development projects and change programs including the Volvo Web Wave Project, establishing WWW technologies and standards, building awareness and knowledge (1995-97).
