Optimizing the patient journey by improving health data interoperability and medical image sharing. Focus on AI-powered optimization of workflows, health data exchange, supporting shared decision making and second opinions. Making the patient and provider experience seamless and efficient.

AI-powered, contactless detection and quantification of vital signs (pulse, respiratory rate, blood oxygen level, blood pressure, and body temperature). Primary use cases: healthcare (e.g. as part of triage in the ER), automotive, travel, sport.

Experience & strategic design consultancy. AI/ML proof-of-concepts, UX/UI design, user experience evaluation, interactive data visualization.Clients: IFTF, Microsoft, NexLeaf, Alliance Venture, Nordic Innovation House, Lumiata, Subtle Medical, Syapse, digital health startups

Enabling patients to perform physical and mental health self-assessments (automated triage) via conversational interaction. The assessment helps determine the consumers' 1) condition, 2) required care and urgency, and 3) the suggested care path. Consumers, providers, and insurers can benefit from a predictive and preventive healthcare platform that leverages AI and machine learning on top of health data and existing medical knowledge bases.

Built interoperability solution for secure health data exchange, enabling providers to aggregate their patients' medical records from other providers, and empowering them to make better informed decisions based on patients' full medical history.Set product roadmap and led product development, addressing the entire health care ecosystem (enterprise, providers, patients & developers), developing solutions that accelerate the shift to efficient, data-driven, value-based care. Designed interaction solutions for the patient- and doctor-facing products (mobile & web), created seamless experiences with patients / consumers and providers in the center. Introduced advanced healthcare analytics solution for the enterprise platform (HEDIS measures for large health orgs).

Next generation data-driven parental engagement solution for parents of premature babies.

Directed key strategic projects for the CEO within the Corporate Design group. Led design and development of design-driven AI solutions for enterprise productivity tools (proactive automation with context-dependent chatbot, advanced ML solution for predicting project success and failure, synthetic linguistic data generation with simulated personalities).

Led experience design and digital transformation efforts for brands like Apple, AllState, Bank of America, Cisco, Harley Davidson, etc. (45 projects for 25 companies in two years). As part of the Infosys Labs consulting team, delivered unique designs and directed implementations that won accolades on financial conventions, designed next generation reporting tools for large SV tech company's executive team, created designs and prototyped telco dashboard solution resulting multi-million dollar deal with a leading global telecom company.
