About

I am a doctoral researcher at the Faculty of Information Technology and Communication Sciences at Tampere University in Finland. My work focuses on the representation, production, and utilization of health on mobile devices, particularly examining the transformative effects of interface design strategies. My initial research paper delves into the Apple Watch Activity app. As a member of the research cluster Trust and Visuality: Everyday Digital Practices, I am investigating how people trust in health content on social media. This project is based onan international collaboration between the Universities of Tampere, Tallinn, Salzburg and Oxford.
