معرفی
Kim Dremstrup is Head of Department at the Department of Health Science and Technology, Faculty of Medicine, Aalborg University, Denmark. He is a leading researcher in biomedical engineering with a focus on brain-computer interfaces (BCI), EEG analysis, sleep research, and rehabilitation technology. He has played a pivotal role in establishing BCI and sleep research at AAU and leads the Aalborg BCI group, recognized internationally for early applications in stroke, spinal cord injury, and ALS rehabilitation.
- PhD in Computerized Sleep Analysis (1993)
- MSc in Biomedical Engineering (1984)
His research centers on decoding brain signals for clinical applications, with major contributions including the invention of the Nightingale Automatic Sleep Analyzer and co-invention of the EDF bio-signal format used globally. His work enables assistive technologies for severely disabled individuals, particularly through hybrid control systems integrating brain and tongue signals. He is also involved in telerehabilitation and neonatal care technologies.
Recent publications highlight advancements in error-related potential detection in stroke and motor disabilities, hybrid BCI-tongue control for ALS, and assistive robotics. His work spans neuroscience, biomedical engineering, robotics, and clinical medicine, with a strong translational focus.
- Inventor of the Nightingale Sleep Analyzer
- Co-inventor of EDF bio-signal format
- President, Danish MedTech Society (DMTS)
- Danish representative in IFMBE
- Chairman, Den Nordjyske Trivselsfond
He actively supervises PhD students and participates in multiple research projects, including assistive robotics and multimodal control systems. He is also engaged in public discourse through media contributions on digital health and personalized medicine. He leads the Center for Rehabilitation Robotics and contributes to UN Sustainable Development Goals in health and well-being.
