Centre for Intelligent Musculoskeletal Health (CIM)

CIM consists of a transdisciplinary team of musculoskeletal health researchers and computer scientists, working together to develop innovative and intelligent musculoskeletal health interventions.

Musculoskeletal disorders are the second common cause of disability worldwide, and with the ageing population these disorders represent one of the largest future challenges for health and society welfare.

Therefore, CIM will bring together experts in complementary fields to develop, evaluate, and implement effective innovative and practical solutions to challenges faced by stakeholders involved in the musculoskeletal field.

We will explore different technological methods within AI – in particular machine learning – in order to enhance current understanding of development and risk of persistent disorders.

Our ambition is to develop innovative and effective personalized interventions that can be implemented in clinical, work and health education settings.

Our pillars

The scientific organization of the research in CIM is divided in three pillars, which are designed to form a translational trajectory from clinical research to implementation and dissemination of the innovative and effective interventions.

• Pillar 1: Epidemiology and clinical research
• Pillar 2: Applied artificial intelligence research
• Pillar 3: Personalized interventions and models of care

In addition, we have established three topic groups that embrace all three research pillars.

• Value-creation and research-based innovation
• User involvement group
• Dissemination and utilization
