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.
- Pillar 1: Epidemiology and clinical research (uni.oslomet.no).
- Pillar 2: Applied artificial intelligence research (uni.oslomet.no).
- Pillar 3: Personalized interventions and models of care (uni.oslomet.no).
In addition, we have established three topic groups that embrace all three research pillars. These are:
- Value-creation and research-based innovation
- User involvement group
- Dissemination and utilization
