Christoffer Bjerre Haase

Christoffer Bjerre Haase serves as an External Lecturer at the Department of Public Health, Section of General Practice, University of Copenhagen. His research critically examines how data transforms medical diagnostics through Science and Technology Studies (STS), evidence-based medicine, and philosophy of science frameworks, with particular focus on overdiagnosis risks and clinician-patient data dynamics.

Haase's work centers on the sociotechnical evolution of medical concepts amid scientific, technological, and organizational shifts. Using qualitative methods including GP interviews, he investigates how patient-generated and clinician-collected data influences clinical decision-making and exposes methodological limitations in evidence-based medicine. His research emphasizes critical data literacy to counter "naive data optimism" in healthcare.

Analysis of his 2024-2025 publications reveals dominant themes in digital health (smartwatches, wearables), ethical dilemmas (euthanasia, free will), and commercialization pressures from the wellness industry. These outputs consistently connect technological developments to overdiagnosis risks and epistemological challenges in evidence-based practice.

His scholarly recognition includes:

• Doug Altman Scholarship (2019) for methodological contributions to evidence-based medicine
• MeST Junior Scholar Award 2023 for advancing Medical STS visibility and environmental contributions

Haase actively collaborates with researchers like Bearman, Brodersen, Risor, and Hoeyer across sociology, medical ethics, and primary care domains. His public engagement includes media appearances such as the 2020 Fysiocast interview on osteoporosis overdiagnosis, demonstrating commitment to translating academic insights into broader healthcare discourse.
