But that was not the only change. For 10 years I performed research on the design and implementation of digital health solutions for the prevention, monitoring, and treatment of chronic conditions. Recently I started two motivating challenges. The first is as Chief Customer Officer at Fibion Oy, a small enterprise with the mission of supporting better research on physical activity with less hassle. In my second challenge, I am a researcher and EU project manager at Shine 2Europe collaborating on projects bringing together multiple stakeholders towards active and healthy living.
My role in a team as Biomedical Engineer is to bridge healthcare/social needs with the development of technology.
Emigration + two new jobs + two children under 5 = never a dull moment.[/vc_column_text][vc_separator][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][vc_column][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_title title=”Research Interests” title_align=”text-left” title_tag=”title_h2″][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/2″][vc_interest][vc_interest_single interest_title=”eHealth | digital health”][/vc_interest_single][vc_interest_single interest_title=”24-hour activity cycle (sleep, sedentary behavior & physical activity)”][/vc_interest_single][vc_interest_single interest_title=”multi-stakeholder engagement”][/vc_interest_single][/vc_interest][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/2″][vc_interest][vc_interest_single interest_title=”persuasive technology”][/vc_interest_single][vc_interest_single interest_title=”chronic disease management”][/vc_interest_single][vc_interest_single interest_title=”wearable technology”][/vc_interest_single][/vc_interest][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row equal_height=”yes”][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_row_inner equal_height=”yes”][vc_column_inner][vc_title title=”Work Experience” title_tag=”title_h1″][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_position][vc_position_single pos_title=”Researcher | EU Project Manager” pos_start=”Nov2022″ pos_end=”present”]Shine 2Europe Lda. | Coimbra, Portugal (Remote)[/vc_position_single][vc_position_single pos_title=”Chief Customer Officer” pos_start=”Oct2022″ pos_end=”present”]Fibion Oy | Finland (Remote)[/vc_position_single][vc_position_single pos_title=”Co-Founder | Digital Health Expert” pos_start=”Mar2023″ pos_end=”present”]Fruit Tree Labs | Lisbon, Portugal[/vc_position_single][vc_position_single pos_title=”Personalised Digital Health Specialist” url=”|||” pos_start=”Mar2021″ pos_end=”Sep2022″]Innovation Sprint | Enschede, the Netherlands (Remote)[/vc_position_single][vc_position_single pos_title=”Researcher eHealth” url=”|||” pos_start=”Nov2013″ pos_end=”Feb2021″]Roessingh Research and Development | Enschede, the Netherlands[/vc_position_single][vc_position_single pos_title=”Programme Manager ‘Personalized eHealth Technology’” url=”|||” pos_start=”May2018″ pos_end=”Dec2019″]University of Twente | Enschede, the Netherlands[/vc_position_single][vc_position_single pos_title=”Researcher Biomedical Signals and Systems group” url=”|||” pos_start=”Nov2013″ pos_end=”Feb2021″]University of Twente | Enschede, the Netherlands[/vc_position_single][/vc_position][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_title title=”Education” title_tag=”title_h1″][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_education][vc_education_single edu_title=”Doctor of Philosophy in Biomedical Engineering” edu_loc=”University of Twente |Enschede, the Netherlands” edu_level=”PhD” edu_year=”Nov2017″][vc_education_single edu_title=”Master in Biomedical Engineering” url=”|||” edu_loc=”Universidade Nova de Lisboa | Lisbon, Portugal” edu_level=”MSc.” edu_year=”Oct2013″][vc_education_single edu_title=”ERASMUS programme” edu_loc=”University of Twente | Enschede, the Netherlands” edu_year=”2011-2012″][/vc_education][vc_education][/vc_education][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_title title=”Other Roles” title_tag=”title_h1″][vc_position][vc_position_single pos_title=”Member of the Board of Directors” url=”|||” pos_start=”Jun2017″ pos_end=”May2022″]International Society for the Measurement of Physical Behavior[/vc_position_single][/vc_position][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_title title=”Certifications” title_tag=”title_h1″][vc_education][vc_education_single edu_title=”Workshop Facilitation Certification” edu_loc=”Facilitator School” edu_year=”2024″][vc_education_single edu_title=”Good Clinical Practice certification” edu_loc=”EMWO” edu_year=”2021″][vc_education_single edu_title=”Staatsexamen Nederlands als Tweede Taal – Programma II” edu_loc=”Dienst Uitvoering Onderwijs (DUO)” edu_year=”2016″][/vc_education][/vc_column][/vc_row]
