Simo Hosio
Crowdsourcing
I've pioneered methods, investigated the labour available in the online marketplaces, and investigated their suitability for many novel use cases.
Leadership
I founded the Crowd Computing research group in 2020 and raised nearly two million USD of funding to support our work
HCI & Digital Health
I'm an expert in HCI (various UX aspects, bot in the lab and in the field). I've focused recently on digital health & chronic health conditions.
