Her educational background includes a Doctoral degree from the Department of Neurobiology, Health Sciences and Society at Karolinska Institutet (2013). As an occupational therapist by profession, she bridges clinical practice with academic research. Brorsson's research focuses on cognitive accessibility and participation in public environments for people with dementia and cognitive impairment. She belongs to the CACTUS research group (Cognitive Accessibility and Technology Use when Ageing in home and Society), specifically working within Track 2 on Accessibility to activities and places in public environments for people with cognitive impairment. Her work examines how to improve accessibility and support for meaningful participation in society, with particular emphasis on technology implementation, environmental design, and social citizenship frameworks. Recent publications demonstrate her expanding interest in digital health privacy policies and their cognitive accessibility for diverse user groups. Her 15 most recent publications (2011-2024) reveal a strong trajectory in dementia research, with increasing focus on technology integration. Early work centered on environmental accessibility and grocery shopping challenges, while recent publications explore assistive technologies, health app privacy policies, and social citizenship in technological societies. The research employs diverse methodologies including qualitative approaches (photo documentation, focus groups), longitudinal studies, and cross-cultural comparisons across multiple countries. Brorsson actively collaborates with international researchers across Europe, as evidenced by her multinational studies examining dementia care approaches in different cultural contexts. Her work demonstrates strong translational potential, connecting research findings directly to practical interventions for improving daily living for people with cognitive impairment. Within the CACTUS research group, she contributes to developing knowledge about participation conditions in public environments and identifying strategies to enhance accessibility. Her research has particular relevance for occupational therapy practice, urban planning, and digital health development, especially regarding inclusive design principles for aging populations.
