Summary of relevant experience

 

I am today Professor at the Department of Computer and Information Science, Linköping University, Sweden and Professor at JIBS; Jönköping International Business School.

I received a B Sc in Public Administration in 1994 and an M Sc in Economics in 1995 at Linköping University. I was awarded a Ph.D. in Informatics at Linköping University, Institute of Technology in October 7, 1999.  Thesis title: "An Economic Perspective on the Analysis of Impacts of Information Technology: From Case Studies in Healthcare towards General Models and Theories".

 

After receiving my PhD, I was a postdoctoral fellow and research scientist at the University of California, Davis in 2000 where I performed research in medical informatics, and e-based consultations for patients with chronic diseases. I have also worked as Consult and Scientist at Systems Research and Applications Corporation, SRA International, Inc. Washington, D.C. in 2001 and 2002.

 

I have authored over 70 articles in the fields of informatics, usability engineering and evaluations methods. My research has been awarded several times for broadening the field of Computer and Information Science. During the 1990s, I have been the principal developer of one approach to evaluate the end-users willingness to participate and develop health information systems using participatory approaches. For this work I received “The Great Gold Medal” for Best Scientific Paper at "Medinfo' 98". 9th World Congress on Medical Informatics 1998.  In October 2000 I received the “Lawson Grant”, for Broadening the Field of Computer and Information Science and for International recognition as Ph.D. student, and in November 1996 the American Medical Informatics Association Award at the Annual Fall Symposium, Student Competition, Washington D.C.

 

I am since Jan 2008 coordinator of the national e-health network. I am also the gender lecturer for the project “Linköping University – a gender conscious university “at The Institute of Technology with 138 professors, 420 teachers and 9 500 students,.

FDA 2006 VT e-government (sw: Det offentliga samhället online: 24timmarsmyndigheter i teori och praktik), 5p (2006 -  2007)

 

The overall aim of the course is to give knowledge about theoretical insights used to produce innovative ideas and operational e­-services. Using a citizen-centred perspective, with a focus on the e-infrastructure of the society, on public sector services and on electronic market solutions, we discuss in this course the need of business opportunities for home and mobile services and appliances for the everyday user, the need of technology for inter-organizational transactions, terminology integration, legislation and co-operation between public sector organizations with special focus on healthcare organizations.

FDA 092 Home Informatics 2004 vt, 5 p. (2004)

 

In this doctoral course we discuss the everyday use of information technology and appliances for computing, discussing issues as, for instance, what kind of IT innovations individuals prefer for communication at home or why households will or not will use ICT for communication at their private residences. In this sense, the area is contrasted with Informatics in general, which has had an emphasis on work-life systems and professional use of ICT at workplaces. We have selected examples from on-going research and state-of-the-art research that help to illustrate the potential of the area of home informatics, the importance to understand the ecology and market forces for everyday ICT products and finally, the importance of the identification of factors that influence the acceptation of technology for use at home.

Pedagogical development efforts

Development and design of the International Master Program “Software Engineering and Management” (120 ECTS.)

 

During 2006 and in collaboration with Professor Kristian Sandahl I designed and implemented the New International Master's Programme in Software Engineering and Management (120 ECTS) offered to International Students at the Institute of Technology (LiTH), at Linköpings universitet (LiU). The Master’s programme in Software Engineering and Management offers a variety of courses in development methods, design, testing, measurement and modelling of software. This includes practical projects where industry relevant experience is gained. The Educational program started on autumn 2007 as a full time program.

 

Gender Lecturer: “Linköping University – A gender Conscious University “at The Institute of Technology (LiTH), 2005 - present

 

Equality between the sexes has long been a broad based and high priority national policy objective in Sweden.  Since the 1980s, Linköpings universitet (LiU) has worked actively for gender equality.  On two occasions, the University has been awarded a ‘gold medal’ by the National Agency for Higher Education for its gender equality work.  Bolstered by its successes and experience, in 2004 LiU adopted a vision of becoming gender sensitive in 2006.   My role as gender lecturer at (LiTH) has been to integrate gender issues in both graduate and under graduate education and to organize seminaries, courses and workshops.  I have also actively collaborated with the Student Union (Lin Tek) into the development of welcome programs for new students at the Institute of Technology (LiTH).

 

Development of a National Distance Education in Medical/Health Informatics (NADIMI)

 

In collaboration with Assoc Professor Sabine Koch from Uppsala University and other universities in Sweden, we have developed a new national distance education program in health informatics. The general aim of this collaborative effort is to develop cooperation between the different universities and to analyse the pre-requisites for a national distance education in health Informatics. More than 10 different Swedish Universities cooperate in the project that is financed by the Swedish Agency of networks and Cooperation in Higher Education (NSHU). I am the Sub-project leader of the project.

Other activities connected with university "third mission”

I have developed a number of networks in collaboration with the local public organizations and Linköpings universitet (LiU). Every year since 2005 and in collaboration with the “FoU- social elderly care centre” I organize a conference with the aim to inform the local community, and politicians about new issues and challenges in the area of health informatics. Researches at the national level from the field of health Informatics are invited to participate as speakers.

I have also acting as scientific leader and developer for projects in collaboration with the regional network for public organizations "Lejongrupen" and the regional government in order to find new E-services that create added value and that contribute to free resources for developing innovative and high-quality services for citizens, since 2005.
