Peder af Geijerstam is an Adjunct Assistant Lecturer at Linköping University with a research focus on cardiovascular disease, particularly hypertension and diabetes. His work emphasizes the importance of home measurements of blood pressure and blood sugar to improve the management of these conditions. High blood pressure and diabetes are leading causes of premature death, primarily due to cardiovascular diseases such as myocardial infarction and stroke. Traditionally, patients with hypertension and diabetes have their blood pressure and blood sugar measured in clinical settings, but emerging evidence suggests that home blood pressure monitoring can provide a more accurate prediction of cardiovascular risk. The advancement of continuous glucose monitors (CGM) has also greatly enhanced the ability to measure blood sugar at home, thereby increasing patient engagement and facilitating remote management. Peder's research seeks to deepen the understanding of how home-based measurements can benefit various patient groups in clinical contexts.
