In my research, I draw on perspectives from Information Systems (IS) to explore the evolving dynamics of data governance and data-driven innovation, particularly within the context of health data. I investigate issues surrounding data governance and digital sovereignty, secondary data use for AI development and socio economic analyses. For socio-economic analyses, I focus on market entry strategies, business model innovation and proof of value concepts in digital health.
