Centre for Intelligent Musculoskeletal Health (CIM)

Illustration of a human body and x-ray photos.

Our mission is to co-create intelligent and personalized interventions and inter-disciplinary and international research that facilitate care of individuals with musculoskeletal disorders and supports sustainable health care. CIM is one of five Excellent Academic Environments at Oslomet.

Pillars

The scientific organization of the research in the 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.

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

  1. Value-creation and research-based innovation
  2. User involvement group
  3. Dissemination and utilization
