Bolle is the Head of the Research Section for Specialized Care at NST. He is a specialist in anaesthesia and emergency care, and has a background in computer science.
His PhD (2011) is based on studies of mobile phone video conferencing between lay rescuers and
dispatch centres. He has authored several papers on video-based dispatch, and has also taken part in other projects on videoconferencing in medical emergencies.

Kari Dyb has her Ph.D. in sociology, culture and social sciences from the University of Tromsø.

Ekeland has a PhD in sociology and her main research interests are conditions and driving forces for change and ordering. The main focus is on how intentions to improve health and social services by use of ICT's are comprehended, promoted or hampered in different practices, and the ways in which improvements are constructed through interaction between different actors.

Dyb is working to understand how everyday practice within the health care sector is shaped and re-shaped by communication, information and digital media but also how everyday practice shape and re-shape ICT.
