Connected Health - Guest Minna Isomursu

May 31, 2022 • NTNU - Digital Enterprise • Season 3 • Episode 3

Host Casandra Grundstrom is joined by special guest Professor Minna Isomursu. Minna is a professor at the University of Oulu at M3S the largest software engineering research unit in Finland. Her main research interests are related to software engineering and challenges in development in the health sector. She is particularly interested in using service design as an approach for translating complex ecosystems of stakeholders and their needs for creating value.

In this episode, we reflect on what is connected health and how it connected us (spoiler: Minna was my PhD supervisor). Further considering how service design can be applied to help us to account for perceived value in complex healthcare environments as value does not have the same meaning for everyone. We then shift to consider Minna's recent publication in IJMI about Finnish Physicians and their use of digital media and if it has been disrupted, rupted, or misrupted due to the pandemic. Rounding out our discussion, we ruminate on interdisciplinary research and training as a PhD as well as the boundaries between industry and academia.

Thank you all for listening, hope you all have a nice summer; episodes will resume again in the fall.
