Digital health
Research on reimbursement, implementation and health economics.
KD
WHO I AM
I am a digital health researcher interested in what happens after a promising innovation enters healthcare: how it is implemented, how it is reimbursed and whether it can become a sustainable part of practice.
My route into health policy combines quantitative finance, consulting and entrepreneurship. I care about evidence that remains useful outside a model—clear workflows, explicit trade-offs and decisions that work for the people and organisations involved.
Systems mindset
From quantitative finance to care pathways, costs and organisational change.
Routes into practice
Connecting research, entrepreneurship and first-hand international experience.
