Senior🎓
Top SchoolMate Bestek is a Scientific Associate and seasoned digital health technologist with 20+ years of experience designing national eHealth systems, leading EHR and cross-border data exchange programs, and embedding AI into clinical workflows. He combines a PhD on democratizing health data semantics with hands-on roles from national eHealth governance to CTO and medtech product leadership, making him fluent in OpenEHR, HL7, IHE and practical interoperability. Currently driving AI strategy and LLM integration for cancer screening at the Institute of Oncology Ljubljana, he architects data governance, semantic models, and ethically grounded AI deployments that move organisations from siloed registries to intelligent, operational systems.
