KIB Podcast

We sometimes call it serious gaming or exergames when we use games as a pedagogical tool, a way to exercise certain skills or as an aid in treatment in, for example in the case phobia of spiders.
What does gamification mean to you?
In this episode of the KIB podcast, we explore a few areas where gamification is used today, different points of view on it, how it is applied and what we see for its future.

In the studio:
Giulia Gaudenzi is an assistant professor in the Department of Global Public Health at KI and an affiliated fellow at the Division of Nanobiotechnology at SciLifeLab, KTH Royal Institute of Technology. Her research focuses on advancing point-of-care diagnostics for low-resource settings, aiming to improve healthcare accessibility globally. Guilia is also very much looking forward to the release of GTA6).
Philip Lindner is an associate professor of clinical psychology and head of the Digital Psychiatry Lab at the Centre for Psychiatry Research at KI, as well as a licensed clinical psychologist specializing in behavioral addictions. He is a recognized expert on Virtual Reality interventions for mental health and has led the development and scientific evaluation of several gamified interventions and serious games. He also studies how game mechanics are used in gambling, and how the distinction between gambling and gaming are becoming increasingly blurred.
Patrick Manser is a Senior Research Fellow and Principal Investigator OST - Eastern Switzerland University of Applied Sciences, Lecturer at ETH Zurich, and co-founder of Stepwave AG (in formation) focused on “exergame as medicine” research and innovation (until recently also affiliated KI). His vision is to transform “exergame as medicine” from a niche area of research into a reimbursable pillar of modern healthcare - empowering an ageing population to train to retain a high quality of life. https://www.patrick-manser.com/

Moderating this episode is Jennifer Salomonsson, librarian at KIB and one of the developers of the boardgame KI-spelet.

Hur förhåller vi oss till det överflöd av information vi har tillgång till, både i vår profession och som individer? Det är lättare än någonsin att få tag i information, men är det lika enkelt att förstå, värdera och använda informationen? I organisationen eller på individnivå, i professionen eller på personlig nivå?

Helena Francke, Josefin Wångdahl och Hanna Frank pratar om vikten av interpersonellt lärande och samtalet för att bättre navigera i ett informationssamhälle fullt av fallgropar.

In this episode we discuss the risks and the benefits of publishing and sharing research data. We also talk about the framework making it possible to publish and share data; the infrastructure, the support, the legal framework and the will to share.
An important game changer might be the EU court case regarding pseudonymized data, EDPS versus SRB (CJEU C‑413/23 P, EU:C:2025:645). We explain the case and discuss what the implications of the case might be, in general and for researchers.
In the studio discussing this hot topic are Frantzeska Papadopoulou Skarp, Professor of private law, Stockholm University, Gustav Nilsonne, Senior Advisor to the Swedish National Data Service (SND) and MD, PhD, Karolinska Institutet, and Glenn Haya, Data Access Unit, KIB.

Why is a collection of physical historical books, journals and manuscripts, as the Hagströmer collections, important in our digital world?
And how does the Nobel laureates react when they visit the Hagströmer library?
Since 2025 the Hagströmer Medico-Historical Library is part of Karolinska Institutet University Library. Planned is also for the collections to move to campus Solna.
This is some of what we talk about with Anna Lantz, curator and project manager at the Hagströmer Library, Thomas Perlmann, Professor in Molecular Developmental Biology, and Secretary of Nobel Committee for Physiology or Medicine and Sven Hagströmer, chair of the friends association at the Hagströmer Library.

“10 minutes of your time can make both funders, and local as well as international collaborators find you – instead of them choosing someone else.”

KI RIMS is not just another admin system but a system with a purpose to collect, improve and make the information about KI's research available.
It gathers data on publications and research grants, and researchers can then use the compiled information to, for example, generate their CV and publication list.

In this episode we discuss why you should take ten minutes to make sure your profile page mirrors you and the research you do. We hear Rose-Marie Karlsson, Grants Office, Johan Lundström, Professor of psychology, Catharina Rehn, Product manager and Katarina Amcoff at the University Library – all four at Karolinska Institutet.
A special thank you to Caroline Myrberg and Malin Essén, at KIB, for background information.
