Profile

Jakob E. Bardram is a professor and head of the section on Digital Health at the Department of Health Technology at the Technical University of Denmark (DTU Health Tech). His background is in computer science and his research interests include Mobile, Wearable, and Ubiquitous Computing Technology, Mobile Sensing, Human-Computer Interaction, and Software Architecture. Currently, the main application areas of this research are within healthcare, ranging from interactive displays for clinical logistics to personal health technology for mental health, to mobile sensing for digital phenotyping. Check out his Google Scholar page for a list of publications, and see his list of projects and technologies for details. During his academic career, he has been active in numerous national and European research projects in close cooperation with clinical and industrial partners. 

Prof. Bardram has been part of creating and running several research groups and centers over the years, including the Center for Pervasive Health at the University of Aarhus, the Pervasive Interaction Technology Laboratory (PIT Lab) at the IT University of Copenhagen, and the Copenhagen Center for Health Technology (CACHET). He is also a co-founder of several companies. Based on the research done in the MONARCA project, he co-founded Monsenso, which provides mHealth technology for mental disorders. Based on the research done in the iHospital project, he co-founded Cetrea which develops pervasive computing technology for hospitals. He also helped start up CLC Bio developing bioinformatics software.

Prof. Bardram is a member of the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM), the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), and the Danish Academy of Technical Sciences (ATV). He is an associate editor of the ACM Proceedings on Interactive, Mobile, Wearable, and Ubiquitous Technologies (PACM IMWUT) and the ACM Transactions on Computing for Healthcare (ACM HEALTH) and has served on numerous program and organizing committees for both ACM and IEEE conferences and as an associate editor for the Journal of Human-Computer Interaction and the IEEE Journal of Biomedical and Health Informatics. In 2012 he was awarded the Informatics Europe Curriculum Award for the ‘Pervasive Computing Curriculum’ that I’ve been developing and teaching both at the University of Aarhus and at the IT University of Copenhagen.
