Hello there, my name is Rukshan. I’m a health informatics spcialist, currently
living in Switzerland.
I started as a clinician, and with a background in digital health,
I transitioned to a world of digital health. I love academia and I write papers
on digital health research
Because of my love to computers and programming,
and mostly I spend my time coding on my laptop

This is my blog where I write about things that I’m interested about, my ideas,
travels, and occational rants. I hope you would enjoy reading this as much as

The crypto market has not been kind to “investors” lately. The market has been near free-fall, and within the first quarter of the year, we’ve seen so many things going south about cryptocurrencies, and it seems almost all the promises that BitCoin and cryptocurrencies promised were a lie. So what are these promises that cryptocurrencies have failed to deliver? ...
