Isabella var en av dem som startade nätverket en gång i tiden och har varit en hängiven och inflytelserik forskare vid Örebros Universitet, med fokus på hälsoteknik och informatik. Hon var särskilt engagerad i att stärka patienters ställning och att se till att forskningsresultat kom till praktisk nytta i samhället.
