He is currently engaged in the development of artificial intelligence applications in wound care to enhance the decision-making process of healthcare professionals, ultimately improving patient and family outcomes. Sebastian actively lectures and mentors Bachelors, Masters and Ph.D. students. He has collaborative projects in Switzerland and internationally.
He serves as the Immediate Past President of the European Wound Management Association and as Vice-President of Wound DACH, where he plays pivotal roles in project and document development within these associations.
