About me
I work with healthcare and health data in the Norwegian company DIPS. I am a trained physiotherapist and have an MSc. in communication technology with a specialization in teleeconomics. Therefore, I am lucky to be able to combine several aspects of my formal background in my daily job.
As a healthcare professional, I know that patient data is crucial for making good and correct decisions. Good quality data is crucial for the healthcare service and for the applications that will support healthcare professionals in their daily work with patients.
openEHR is an international community and organization that develops specifications and data models for health data. We chose openEHR as the formalism for health data in DIPS Arena in 2010. Over the years, this choice has proven to be solid. There are now more and more suppliers, nations, regions and other stakeholders applying for openEHR and giving the community increased strength.

About me on GitHub
I use my GitHub account to explore different areas. It could be small prototypes or a collection of clinical models. There is no common thread in the different repositories on the account other than that there are different projects that I have enjoyed exploring.
