Ongoing research projects

Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis in a life-course perspective (AIS-Life)
The PhD project investigates health and welfare trajectories of individuals with idiopathic scoliosis across the life course and identifies factors influencing long-term health and welfare outcomes.
Co-occurrent pain and psychological distress: From adolescence to adulthood
The project will provide new insight into the long-term consequences of early onset co-occurrent pain and psychological distress.
Designing an intelligent gamified solution for treatment of scoliosis among children and adolescents
This PhD project focuses on understanding needs of youth with idiopathic scoliosis and to examine how the needs can be improved by using a digital solution – e.g. a smartphone application.
Designing an intelligent personalized vest for scoliosis brace to improve treatment and monitoring of scoliosis in adolescents
The project will design an intelligent personalized vest for scoliosis brace with wearable sensors.
Digital health technology: implementation hinders and possibilities in non-critical emergency care cases
This qualitative study explores the barriers and opportunities related to implementing digital health solutions in non-critical emergency care within the Norwegian healthcare context.
Investigating Microplastics and Nanoplastics Uptake in Edible Plants (MICRO-PLANT)
We investigate how micro- and nanoplastics affect edible plants and human health through plant uptake, packaging contamination, and sustainable solutions for safe food production.
Measuring the Therapeutic Mechanisms and Effects of Art (BraArt)
The project investigates how art therapy modulates experimental pain using neural, physiological, and biological measures such as brain activity, stress hormones, and heart rate variability.
Promoting and inhibiting factors for education and employment among young adults receiving welfare benefits or health services due to persistent pain and psychological distress
Persistent pain and psychological distress in young adults can negatively impact participation in education and employment, leading to significant consequences.

Completed research projects

Young user involvement group in musculoskeletal health
This project will establish a young user-involvement group at the Centre for Intelligent Musculoskeletal Health (CIM).
