Research
- Currently I am working with the SPARK project [1]. [2] A project where
patients diagnosed with gestational diabetes receive a smartphone app with
support for healthy lifestyle habits to manage their blood glucose levels as
a part of their treatment.
I also take part in the Vinnova founded projects Bikeable City and Active
Travel [3]. The overall aim of these projects is to increase everyday
physical activity through active transportation. Bikeable City consists of
several innovations aimed towards both adults and children and we take part
by being the leaders of a work package for evaluation. Active Travel is a
follow-up of a previous project (SCAMPI [4]) and aims to increase physical
activity through active transportation by changing adult professionals
commuting habits with the help of a smartphone application.
