Human Technology and Organisations Research Group

What do you get when you bring together a group of researchers interested in service design, digitalisation and work environments? Apparently, two very productive days in Linköping. With surprisingly glorious weather as a bonus! ☀️ We have just had our first kick-off meeting for our new research project, “Tjänsteprototypande som metod för att forma digital […]

Human-drone interaction is an emerging field investigating ways to extend the conventionally passive role of drones with autonomous, socially interactive functionalities. Drones offer unique opportunities for applications, such as exercise support, due to their mobility and flexibility. While previous research has studied drones for, e.g., pacing, gait analysis, and accessibility in running contexts, we propose […]

This week, members of the HTO research group are taking part in NordiCHI 2026 in Vaasa, Finland. NordiCHI is one of the main Nordic conferences for Human Computer Interaction and brings together researchers working with the relationships between people, technology, organizations and society. For us, there is also a nice sense of continuity. The previous […]

This autumn, three new PhD students joined our research group as part of the launch of LärA-AI, a new research school exploring how generative artificial intelligence is affecting teachers’ work environment and professional role. Cora Ljunggren Axelsson is the last of them to be introduced here. Welcome to the HTO group, Cora! Can you briefly […]

In healthcare, artificial intelligence (AI) may save clinicians time, automate routine activities, and support better decisions, but empathy, reassurance, trust, conversation, and human connection remain essential parts of care.This is where digital humanism matters! Digital humanism argues that technology should be deliberately shaped around human values, rights, needs, and societal goals. Shweta and I had […]

We are continuing to introduce our new PhD students who have joined us this autumn, as part of the launch of LärA-AI, a new research school exploring how generative artificial intelligence is affecting teachers’ work environment and professional role. Welcome to the HTO group, Hannah! Can you briefly introduce yourself and your background? Before starting […]

Det nordiska forskningsprojektet AI-PROCARE är igång och det är dags för en kort rapport om läget. Bakgrunden till projektet handlar om AI:s intåg i hälso- och sjukvården, vilket påverkar kliniska beslut, administrativa arbetsuppgifter och hur arbetet organiseras. AI lyfts ofta fram som ett sätt att effektivisera arbetet och minska manuella arbetsuppgifter, men samtidigt vet vi […]

Vi är glada att välkomna Martin Hansson som doktorand i HTO och i forskarskolan LärA-AI! LärA-AI är en ny forskarskola som undersöker hur generativ artificiell intelligens (GenAI) påverkar lärares arbetsmiljö och yrkesroll, ett samarbete mellan Uppsala universitet, Högskolan i Gävle och Kungliga tekniska högskolan i Stockholm. Nio doktorander började för tre veckor sedan i forskarskolan, […]

Vi är glada att välkomna Alexandra Sandell som forskningsintern hos HTO nu under hösten. Alexandra har en bakgrund inom människa-datorinteraktion och psykologi. I människa-datorninteraktionsprogrammet på Institutionen för informatik och media finns det möjlighet till en tio veckors praktik i en forskargrupp och vi är väldigt glada att Alexandra ville testa på att vara hos oss.
