Nothing better for starting a blog than bragging a bit about myself. So, who am I?

I bridge the critical gap between clinical geriatric medicine, public health management and digital transformation of healthcare. I don’t just study aging; I architect systems, standards, and technologies that enable older adults to maintain independence, vitality, and quality of life in an increasingly digital world.

Currently, as a researcher at the Ana Aslan International Foundation, I lead efforts in high-impact European projects like COMFORTage (Horizon Europe) and SMART-BEAR (Horizon 2020).

My doctoral research at Carol Davila University of Medicine and Pharmacy is focused on identifying and mitigating psychological and cognitive barriers that prevent older adults from adopting life-enhancing digital health tools.

How I drive impact:

• 𝐒𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐠𝐢𝐜 𝐑𝐞𝐬𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐜𝐡 & 𝐌𝐚𝐧𝐚𝐠𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐋𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐩: Combining my MD with an MPH in Public Health Management, I provide executive-level oversight for complex health initiatives. As a task leader for Task 8.2 in the COMFORTage project, I coordinate contributions to international standardization bodies, ensuring that the next generation of AI-driven healthcare platforms are built on robust, interoperable frameworks.
• 𝐂𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥 𝐂𝐚𝐬𝐞 𝐌𝐚𝐧𝐚𝐠𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐚𝐭 𝐒𝐜𝐚𝐥𝐞: I led the Romanian pilot for the SMART-BEAR project, managing the integration of medical-grade wearables and IoT/Smart Home sensors for ~700 participants to monitor and prevent multiple comorbidities (e.g.: CVD, MCI, frailty).
• 𝐑𝐞𝐠𝐮𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐲 𝐌𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐲: With a postgraduate certificate from TU Dublin in implementing regulatory requirements for medical devices (MDR/IVDR), I provide bridge technical innovation with market-ready clinical safety.
• 𝐓𝐞𝐜𝐡𝐧𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥-𝐂𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥 𝐇𝐲𝐛𝐫𝐢𝐝𝐢𝐭𝐲: I combine MD-level clinical insight with deep technical proficiency in Home Assistant, IoT, and network administration. I transform “smart homes” into “Health Smart Homes.”

Whether leading a task for an EU consortium or analysing the subtle impacts of technostress on technology adoption, my goal is to ensure that the digital future of health leaves no one behind.

I am passionate about moving the needle from reactive geriatrics to proactive, data-driven longevity. Stay tuned for more!
