Short presentation
I work as a research assistant in the Health Services Research group, and manage a project at Uppsala University Hospital implementing machine-learning based risk prediction tools in prehospital care. My research interests involve the prediction of individual patient care needs, the quantitative investigation of systemic factors influencing care quality, and the problems surrounding the implementation of predictive models into clinical practice.
