Signal processing enables smart cities and self-driving vehicles, the development of pacemakers and hearing aids, automatic image enhancement, mapping of the Earth’s surface, weather forecasts and climate models. Even the altitude variations on Venus have been mapped.  Mattias Dahl is a professor of systems engineering and Mats Pettersson is a professor of electrical engineering. Both work with systems engineering at BTH and […]

BTH is developing an expert research team in industrial economics and management. BTH is already strong in measuring the effects of change, such as political change, but the field of efficiency and productivity analysis is relatively new and BTH now aims to become the leader in Sweden and an important player internationally. The researchers are […]

The only thing around us that is not consciously developed is nature – everything else is developed by the human hand. Product development is the deliberate process to create those things we use in our daily lives. Cars, aeroplanes, milk cartons, everything is product developed. Professor Tobias Larsson is a researcher in product development and […]

The research in visual and interactive computer science is often associated with gaming technology, however, that is only one part of all the possibilities that exist. For example, it can be used for surgeons to practise an intervention, for training for disaster responses or to use everyday objects in the 1500s. The research focuses on […]

BTH has participated in producing Sweden’s first national innovation agenda for underwater technology and the researchers see many areas of use – outside the marine industry too. “Energy and security are two major societal challenges where we can play a part”, says Oskar Frånberg, researcher and representative for the National Centre for Underwater Technology at […]

In collaboration with Telenor, a wireless provider, BTH has developed technology that streamlines and improves customer service. Artificial intelligence screens support requirements, questions and suggestions, which leads to a shorter response time and increased quality. Anton Borg is a researcher in computer science. With the help of applied AI and machine learning, together with Telenor, […]

Increasing computing power and the number of interconnected functions – many opportunities but unfortunately also risks of malicious attacks. Dragos Ilie conducts research in computer science to make it harder and more expensive to carry out cyber-attacks. “The incentive for those who carry out attacks is often money, for example, by locking data that you […]

Charlotte Romare’s research focuses on smart glasses and this innovation is to be tested at the clinic.  “When caring for a patient, you can select which parameters are to be visible in the glasses, maybe ECG, blood pressure, oxygen levels or something else depending on which decision-making support is required. The glasses provide a quick overview while enabling the user to focus completely on the patient instead […]

Can AI be a tool to improve healthcare in the meeting of people? An exciting collaboration project at BTH is deepening the analysis and knowledge of abuse in healthcare, as basis for development. “We use healthcare data, with the help of self-learning clustering algorithms, to detect patterns and deepen knowledge so that abuse can be […]

BTH has the only clinic in northern Europe where solutions can be developed from an idea all the way through to practical implementation.    The unique clinic is a strategic initiative in which BTH draws on its combination of health, nursing and technology. Here, links are created between research, education, innovation, technology development and practical implementations in areas with potential for significant societal gain. “Innovative […]
