Biography

Sofie Olsgaard Bergien is a PhD student at the University of Copenhagen, affiliated with the Section for Health Services Research and the Center of Healthy Aging. Her research focuses on the experiences of older adults living with Multiple Sclerosis (MS) and aims to empower and involve participants through participatory co-creation methodologies. The current Ph.D. project, titled 'Aging MS', employs mixed methods including photovoice, interviews, and surveys to investigate how older adults manage their everyday lives with MS. A key aspect of this project is the establishment of an advisory group of older adults living with MS, which contributes to the design and development of relevant support offerings. Beyond her Ph.D. work, she has served as a scientific project manager for the Scleroseforeningen and is actively engaged in collaborations that enhance the understanding of patient and user involvement in research. Her research interests encompass co-created research, aging, multiple sclerosis, and mixed-method research.
