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

travels, and occational rants. I hope you would enjoy reading this as much as
