The Specialist doctor from the University Hospital in Gothenburg, alumnus UC Berkeley. My doctoral dissertation is about Digital Health and I have published 5 scientific articles in teledermatology and artificial intelligence and others.
Doctor Alexander Börve biography
I am a medical professional combining expertise as an orthopedic surgeon and a tele dermatology expert, committed to advancing the intersection of technology and healthcare. My journey began at the esteemed University Hospital in Gothenburg, Sweden, where I honed my skills and gained valuable clinical experience. In pursuit of broader horizons and a passion for digital health, I ventured to the Bay Area in January 2013. It was at the School of Public Health, UC Berkeley, that I immersed myself in an enriching environment as a visiting PhD candidate from 2013 to 2014. My PhD thesis, a seminal work focusing on Digital Health, served as a precursor to my continued contributions to the field. Following my studies at UC Berkeley, I founded First Derm in 2014, blending my expertise in orthopedic surgery and tele dermatology. This platform was developed to facilitate accessible dermatological consultations through telemedicine. This endeavor led to the publication of five peer-reviewed scientific papers that further the dialogue on integrating traditional medical practices with digital innovations. My aim remains: to optimize patient care through the synergy of classical medicine and modern technology.
