معرفی
Leif Sandsjö is a researcher at the Department of Working Life and Welfare within the Academy of Care, Working Life and Welfare at the University of Borås, specializing in eHealth, welfare technology, and healthcare digitalization since joining in 2010 through the MedTech West collaboration platform.
His educational background includes:
- Medical Technology training at Chalmers University of Technology
- Doctoral Thesis: "Ambulatory Monitoring and Analysis of Surface Electromyographic Signals in Ergonomic Field Studies - Methods and Applications" at the Swedish Institute of Working Life (2004)
Dr. Sandsjö's research focuses on textile-based wearable sensors for electromyography, home-based rehabilitation interventions, and user-centered implementation of welfare technology. His work bridges clinical applications with engineering innovation, particularly in phantom limb pain treatment and stroke rehabilitation through smart textiles.
Analysis of his 2019-2025 publications reveals dominant themes in textile electrode development for long-term physiological monitoring, co-designed rehabilitation systems, and real-world implementation challenges in municipal care settings. His methodology consistently incorporates user participation throughout the design process.
No scientific awards were mentioned in the provided information.
He supervises doctoral students in Chalmers' MTD (Human-Technology-Design) graduate school and provides academic guidance at all levels in University of Borås nursing programs. His research is supported through major collaborative initiatives including MedTech West, the WearITmed Consortium, and Smart Workwear Consortium, focusing on workplace health technology.
As active member of the University's Innovation Council and Research and Education Board, Dr. Sandsjö contributes to strategic development while maintaining laboratory operations focused on textile-based health monitoring systems developed through regional healthcare partnerships.
