Health and Performance Technology

We are a multidisciplinary research team with deep expertise in physiology, neuroscience, psychology, physics, data analysis, computer science and design. We integrate these disciplines with the human being at the core and technology as a tool.

We measure, analyse and understand human performance in demanding situations – whether it involves a soldier in the field, an elite athlete operating at the limits of capacity, a patient undergoing treatment or rehabilitation, or an employee aiming to stay healthy throughout a 40‑year career. The same level of methodological rigour applies across all contexts.

How we can help you

• Occupational health and sick leave – Research-based prevention, early intervention and sustainable workplaces, grounded in physiology and psychology.
• Health technology – Digital tools and health data systems developed in accordance with strict research-ethical and technical standards.
• Sportstech – Technology for training, performance and injury prevention, developed in close collaboration with athletes and coaches.
• Physiological measurements and sensor technology – Advanced instrumentation and data analysis for diagnostics, rehabilitation and performance optimisation.
• Ergonomic design – Clothing and equipment where physiology, product design and service design converge to promote health, safety and comfort in demanding environments.

Do you want to develop sustainable solutions for health and performance with us?

We help you address real-world challenges – whether the goal is to reduce sick leave, develop new health technology, or improve performance and safety. You gain access to a multidisciplinary team with deep expertise and established networks across healthcare, industry and research environments.

At SINTEF, you are closely involved throughout the entire process – from problem definition to implemented solution – in collaboration with end users and relevant stakeholders. The result is knowledge and solutions that are documented, verifiable and designed to work in practice.
