About me

I hold a PhD in Anthropology and Communication (2019) from Universitat Rovira i Virgili (Spain). My research focuses on studying digitalization processes from different perspectives, especially in the context of healthcare. One of my goals is finding ways to improve the integration of digital technologies in the organization and delivery of healthcare.
