Her publications often address translational research bridging clinical practice and population health.

• Key Projects:
  • Digital follow-up of patients with type 1 diabetes (DigiDiaS)
  • Pain and OTC analgesic use in adolescents (SUS project)
  • Video streaming in medical emergency calls
• Research Groups: Musculoskeletal Health Research
• Collaborations: Ongoing partnerships with Oslo University Hospital, the Norwegian Institute of Public Health, and international consortia (e.g., Back Complaints in the Elders).

Her work integrates epidemiological methods, clinical trials, and qualitative analyses to address gaps in healthcare delivery. Recent studies highlight the impact of lifestyle factors on musculoskeletal disorders and the role of digital tools in enhancing patient adherence.
