I worked as a medical researcher before I joined Mehiläinen as a Data Scientist. I had become familiar with Mehiläinen in my part-time work as a physician, providing appointments and Digital Clinic services. I wanted to join Mehiläinen’s data science team because I considered it an opportunity to use my expertise to improve healthcare in practical ways.
