معرفی
Birthe Dinesen is a Professor at Aalborg University's Department of Medicine and Health Technology within the Faculty of Health Sciences. Her work centers on the Center for Sensory-Motor Interaction and ExerciseTech, with extensive contributions to telehealth implementation across cardiac, respiratory, and mental health domains.
- PhD in Health Technology (specific institution not stated)
- Extensive international clinical trial experience
- Focus on technology transfer from research to clinical practice
Professor Dinesen's research spans telehealth, telerehabilitation, and welfare technology with particular emphasis on gamification and user-driven innovation. Her fingerprint analysis shows dominant work in Telerehabilitation (100%), Heart Failure management (46%), and Rehabilitation Engineering (45%). Current projects integrate machine learning for sleep apnea screening and AI for emergency department imaging analysis, reflecting her commitment to translating technology into practical healthcare solutions.
Publication trends reveal consistent output since 2003 with significant acceleration after 2011. Her 211 publications demonstrate specialization in cardiac telerehabilitation (particularly atrial fibrillation and heart failure), COPD management, and stroke rehabilitation using digital tools. Recent work increasingly incorporates machine learning and social robotics.
- Best poster award 2023 (Klinisk Kvalitet)
Professor Dinesen has secured 8 major research projects including the Velux Foundation-funded 'Brain-controlled exoskeletons for stroke rehabilitation' and the Heart Association's 'The Patient of the Future' atrial fibrillation study. She has supervised 3 PhD students and maintains 231 press/media appearances highlighting her role as a public health technology advocate. Her datasets on COPD telerehabilitation have been widely shared through Figshare.
Current leadership includes the 'Future Patient: Telerehabilitation and Gamification' project (2019-2022) and active development of AI applications for emergency radiology. Her ExerciseTech lab focuses on sensor-based rehabilitation systems with international clinical validation studies.
