Bio

Terje Solvoll, professor, has been with the centre since 2006. He started his career as a researcher in Telenor R&D early in 2001 as a Cand. Scient within computer science. In 2003, Solvoll left Telenor and started to work with satellite communications and ship-shore IT services to the ships, and electronic reporting systems to fishing vessels through satellite communication. He worked here until 2006, and after several hospital stays, he decided to go back to research, and mainly research within telemedicine.

He started at Norwegian Centre for Telemedicine as a project manager for an eczema-counselling project, where parents of children suffering of atopic eczema could have counselling using Internet to communicate with a dermatologist to treat the patients, and avoid hospitalization. In 2007, he started to work with his PhD, within mobile communication for hospitals, which he finished in 2013. During this time, he has been supervising more than 15 students on master's level and also been involved in several other projects, which involve professional networks for dentists, stroke diagnosing and treatment in rural areas using High Definition video conferencing systems through dedicated networks guaranteeing quality, decision-making systems, medical sensors, and more. In October 2015 he started the spinoff company CallMeSmart AS.
