I. Biography

A reading
of the life.

Paul has spent more than two decades on a single question: how do you make clinical information useful to the person it describes? He was among the first physician leaders to run health information technology at scale, and he has practised internal medicine throughout.

At NordicScan he advises on the member platform and on how the reasoning engine explains findings. His standard is simple and hard to meet: a member should finish reading their own results feeling better informed, not more anxious.

“Technology in medicine earns its place only when it gives the patient back time, clarity, or both.”
