Research projects
-
Applying Artificial Intelligence in Developing Personalized and Sustainable Healthcare for Spinal Disorders (AID-Spine, part I)
We use machine learning methods to develop and validate prediction models for health and welfare outcomes after treatment for spinal disorders.
-
Can Motivational Interviewing facilitate return to work in sicklisted people with musculoskeletal disorders? (MI-NAV)
We aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of Motivational Interviewing on return to work among sicklisted people due to musculoskeletal disorders.
-
The Back Complaints in the Elders, Norway (BACE-N)
Part of the Back Complaints in the Elders consortium, established to create standardised methodology for large cohort studies on the burden of back pain in the elderly.
-
Young user involvement group in musculoskeletal health
This project will establish a young user-involvement group at the Centre for Intelligent Musculoskeletal Health (CIM).
