Health
(research area)
Health data that can be found, shared and trusted: FAIR data, digital health systems and secure medical IoT.
For hospital and public health research teams, digital health programmes, NGOs and funders.
From 2020 to 2023 I worked as a data expert with VODAN Africa and Kampala International University, installing Linux servers and deploying FAIR Data Points in hospitals across Uganda, and working on data governance, quality, privacy and training. I am a certified FAIR Data Steward (Level 3).
I have co-authored three papers in Data Intelligence (MIT Press, 2022) on FAIR data and health information in Uganda, and a review of cybersecurity for AI-enabled medical IoT in smart cities (2023).
I can join your project to design the study, set up and manage the data, analyse it, and report the findings.
