Ongoing projects
Risk reduction for ambulance and rescue service personnel in the event of unforeseen and severe events
The project aims to reduce the risks for ambulance and rescue service personnel in the event of difficult and unpredictable events. By developing a method package for digital simulation, the researchers want to improve the response leaders' ability to make joint risk assessments across organizational boundaries.
May 2024 - April 2027 InformaticsDigital health promotion in schools
A more sedentary life and a diet high in sugar have created public health problems in low-income countries - heart disease has become increasingly common in the population. To help prevent this development, researchers at the University of Skövde, Mid Sweden University and two Nepalese universities will examine existing knowledge among parents and school children in Nepal and develop a digital health education.

Game Hub Scandinavia
Game Hub Scandinavia aims to strengthen the Scandinavian position in the global game community. In the Game Hub Scandinavia project researchers and business developers’ work together to build knowledge and networks in the global game development community in order to support Scandinavian studios on the global game market.
January 2019 - December 2021 InformaticsSweden Game Arena
Sweden Game Arena is a co-operation between University of Skövde, Science Park Skövde and Skövde municipality. The project aims to build the research- and development community for game development in Skövde and Region Västra Götaland. The project has three main activities: research and education in game development and incubation specializing in incubation game studios.
January 2019 - December 2021 InformaticsFUN – Digital aids for increased joy of movement for children with neurodevelopmental disorders
The level of physical activity is constantly declining among children and adolescents. School children today do not reach the recommended level of activity needed to maintain good physical and mental health, in the present or for the future. The FUN project aims to develop digital aids and applications that will encourage pupils with neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs) to increase their level of physical activity.
April 2019 - January 2020 DHEAR – for a healthier and more sustainable sociAmbulance Care in a Virtual Environment
At the ambulance station in Skövde, a unique simulation environment for training personnel began to take shape in 2016. Two years later, 110 ambulance nurses had been trained, inspiring the development of simulation-based training for prehospital care in Sweden.
November 2016 - November 2018 Informatics,Virtual EngineeringPrevention of online sexual grooming
Online “sexual grooming” is the process by which a child is befriended by a would-be abuser in an attempt to gain the child’s confidence and trust. In online interactions, children run the risk of being abused and some contacts may also lead to physical meetings where children can become subject to further abuse.
