Employee Spotlight: Interview with Pirjo Purolinna

Describe your role at Aiforia.

I work as a user experience (UX) designer. My job is about designing user-centred solutions, mostly for the Aiforia clinical application. In practice, that means I help to map needs of the users, work with several of our teams to come up with solutions, and finally design how the solution would come alive in the user interface.

What is your favorite part about your job?

I find it meaningful to design software which helps pathologists use their time more effectively on diagnosis, and enables patients get help faster. Visualising actionable information for pathologists is both intriguing and challenging. What makes it even better is to collaborate with awesome colleagues.

What's your most memorable moment while working at Aiforia?

I started at Aiforia 6 months ago and it has been exciting to dive into AI, clinical analysis and get to know our team. Most memorable moment so far has been our summer party, which we spent on an old wooden sailboat. I got to meet most of my colleagues there for the first time, and have fun off-work.

What do you do for fun?

I like growing a jungle of green plants at my apartment, enjoy hiking in nature and curiously try out new handcraft projects.
