Dr. Flodin's research focuses on public health with particular emphasis on cardiovascular health promotion and digital health education. Her work explores innovative approaches to improving health outcomes among vulnerable populations, especially adolescents in developing contexts like Nepal. She investigates how digital interventions, including gamification strategies, can be effectively implemented to promote sustainable cardiovascular health. Her research methodology combines qualitative approaches with innovative digital health interventions, with a strong commitment to addressing health disparities in resource-limited settings.
Her recent publications demonstrate a clear trajectory toward leveraging digital technologies for public health interventions in resource-limited settings. The research shows increasing sophistication in methodology, moving from qualitative assessments of perceptions to developing and testing specific digital game-based interventions for cardiovascular health promotion among Nepalese adolescents. This progression reflects a growing sophistication in her approach to public health challenges.
Dr. Flodin actively contributes to academic education as a course coordinator for multiple programs. She teaches in both the Bachelor's program in Public Health Sciences and the Master's program in Infection Control and Healthcare Hygiene, helping to train the next generation of public health professionals. Her educational work includes coordinating courses at both undergraduate and graduate levels, with specific focus on preparing students for practical public health challenges.
