I am a 40 year old woman, wife and mom of 2. I live in Denmark north of Copenhagen and work as a Software Engineer, more specifically , an Android developer, in the Pharma company Novo Nordisk, where we build healthcare apps for patients. I have a bachelors degree in Physiotherapy since 2018 and i hold a masters degree in Software Design since January 2023. While i was studying Physiotherapy i participated in a research project to create a mobile application for young adolescents with diabetes 1, with the users/patients in focus. On my master i specialised in technical interaktion design which is a mix of mobile development for Android and the entire process of designing and developing software. In my thesis i created a prototype of an Android app for Physiotherapists where I did everything from user research to design, implementation and usability tests. I have not worked with the term "Accessibility" for many years, but I have been working patient-centered since i started studying Physiotherapy in 2014. This is one of the reasons why I have build up a huge passion for accessibility. Currently I am on a mission to incorporate accessibility in all the digital products that we produce in our big organisation. I am holding this kind of presentation in many forums for many people, as well as facilitating workshops to teach entire project teams how to always think about accessibility and easier implement it. It is on this mission I discovered an extremely relevant topic that is missing. I believe that illuminating this could benefit many in their everyday work with digital products. I have already done this presentation at an internal design summit hosting 150 designers from multiple departments all over the corporation. All of the presentations has received great feedback, some even wrote that it was the best they had seen in a long time. Furthermore it has opened eyes on backend developers to take more responsibility to implement accessibility and on designers to try to understand the technical perspective on a deeper level. And what i really want is to step away from the mindset that accessibility only exists with the designers. Additionally I offer concrete methods and tools that you can take into your work straight after the presentation.

In my free time, when i don't take care of my two small boys, I play basketball, do a lot of different creative projects and take care of the garden in our Allotment. I also have ADHD so besides my passion for equal rights and opportunities, I personally struggle with heavy content components/apps and get easily affected by cognitive overload.

With over two decades of experience in both nursing and massage therapy, I bring a clinical yet holistic perspective to the intersection of cannabis, wellness, and skincare. I've been immersed in the cannabis industry since 2010 and began teaching in 2017, committed to educating others on safe, effective, and evidence-informed practices. As a nurse of 24 years and a licensed massage therapist for 19 years, my teaching is grounded in both science and compassion.

In 2014, I founded Primal Therapeutics, one of the first mobile cannabis massage businesses in the country, dedicated to bringing plant medicine directly to clients in a personalized and therapeutic setting. Building on that mission, I launched Primal Healing in 2019, a line of organic hemp-based skincare products that reflect my commitment to quality, integrity, and the healing power of nature. Since creating both businesses, I have been featured in many publications.

I have been providing education at the largest spa conferences in the nation since 2017. My courses focus on cannabis massage, integrative wellness, and topical skincare applications, offering students real-world insights from the front lines of both healthcare and plant medicine. I believe in empowering practitioners to elevate their skills and their self-care, and I bring a deep respect for the healing potential of the human touch and the cannabis plant.

My teaching philosophy is simple: never stop learning. I’m honored to share what I’ve learned—and continue to learn—with others dedicated to growth, healing, and professional excellence.

Dr. Teresa Owens Gardner Tyson, DNP, MSN, FNP-BC, FAANP, is a preeminent figure in rural healthcare. She currently leads St. Mary’s Health Wagon as its President and CEO. Born into the modest surroundings of a coal miner's family in Appalachia, her upbringing was steeped in firsthand experiences of the healthcare challenges that pervade rural communities. These formative years laid the groundwork for her unwavering dedication to advancing medical care in underserved areas.

Under Dr. Tyson's visionary leadership, the Health Wagon has flourished, evolving from a mobile clinic into a comprehensive healthcare network. This network now proudly includes two stationary clinics, several mobile units, a pharmacy, and a dental clinic, serving as a lifeline for thousands of Appalachian residents. The effectiveness of this expansion was highlighted in 2024 when the organization managed nearly 29,000 patient interactions, demonstrating its critical role in the community.

Dr. Tyson has been instrumental in integrating innovative technologies to enhance healthcare delivery. Her pioneering efforts in telehealth have dramatically increased access to specialist care for isolated communities, mitigating the need for long-distance travel, which many residents cannot afford. Additionally, she introduced the first FAA-approved drone delivery system for pharmaceuticals in the U.S., revolutionizing how essential medications are distributed in remote areas.

The Move Mountains Medical Mission, spearheaded annually by Dr. Tyson, is a cornerstone of her healthcare philosophy. This event provides comprehensive, free healthcare services to thousands, addressing acute medical needs while emphasizing the importance of preventative care. Her belief that healthcare is a fundamental human right is manifest in her commitment to these extensive outreach efforts, which aim to elevate overall community health standards.

Dr. Tyson’s initiatives have not only reshaped healthcare delivery in Appalachian, Virginia, but have also captured the attention of a broader audience. Her work has earned her spots in national and international discussions, where she advocates for rural health issues at platforms such as the United Nations and the World Health Organization. Her innovative approaches and tangible results have garnered her numerous accolades and have made her a respected voice in global health conversations.

In addition to her leadership and operational roles, Dr. Tyson is passionate about education and mentorship. She has recognized the need for sustained medical services in rural areas and has established educational collaborations with over 50 institutions. These programs immerse students in the realities of rural healthcare, preparing them to continue the mission of the Health Wagon and ensure its longevity and impact.

Looking forward, Dr. Tyson is dedicated to further expanding the capabilities of the Health Wagon. Her plans include enhancing diagnostic services, increasing the availability of specialist care, and incorporating advanced medical technologies.
