• Educations:
• Bachelor's in Nursing, 2014
• Master's in Intensive Care Nursing, 2019

Her research emphasizes improving patient self-management through digital interventions, addressing concerns around care continuity and re-admissions for chronic conditions like heart failure. She has over eight years of clinical experience in medical intensive care units and post-operative wards at Stavanger University Hospital, where she observed gaps in post-discharge support for heart failure patients.

Her current project investigates whether the digital application enhances patients' ability to manage their condition and adhere to healthcare directives independently.
