Nina Sundström

I am an Associate Professor in Biomedical Engineering and Head of the Division of Operational Information Technology and Biomedical Engineering (VIMT). VIMT's mission is to make appropriate, secure and efficiently managed technology available within Region Västerbotten and we assist with technical expertise throughout the chain from introduction/development to decommissioning in medical technology and parts of the information technology area. I hold the role of the region's medical device management function, which includes chairing the region's gas committee and participating in the region's council for medical devices. I also represent the northern regions in the national management network for medical device managers (LfMT).

I am the director of AIM North, which is a competence center in applied artificial intelligence (AI) for researchers in the northern healthcare region. Through AIM North, clinical staff and researchers receive support with technical methodological expertise in machine learning and AI in clinical research projects.

My research areas are gait and balance analysis, especially focused on measurement of gait and balance in everyday clinical practice, measurement and analysis of multimodal data from intensive care monitoring, and quality registry research in the field of normal pressure hydrocephalus. I am also an adjunct senior lecturer (20%) at the Department of Diagnostics and Intervention at Umeå University and am responsible for thesis and doctoral student supervision and act as an examiner.
