Dr.
Sanja Savić Kallesoe
Ph.D.,
President and
Safety Director
Baromedical
was founded in 1999 by Dr. Savić Kallesoe
based
on her academic
background and
experience in biomedical systems (B. Sc.),
rehabilitation engineering (M.Sc.), and environmental
physiology (PhD).
She has been involved with hyperbaric physiology since 1986 and
initiated establishment of the first hyperbaric centre in her native
country Slovenia in 1989. She was a staff member for five
years at Slovenia's
largest university institute for rehabilitation engineering - the Jozes
Stefan Institute - in the capital of Slovenia, Ljubljana, where she was
part of a group pionering the European development and
implementation of electrical stimulators in people with stroke and
spinal
cord injury at the rehabilitation centre "Soca".
In the early 1990'ies the Slovenian Ministry of Science and
Technology awarded her reseach grants to persue academic collaborations
in Canada on the use of two successful modalities in faster
wound healing:
electrical stimulation and hyperbaric oxygenation.
Through out the '90'ies she
spent her time teaching and leading research at Simon Fraser
University, British Columbia, with succesfull collaborations with the
local medical community (Medical Hyperbaric Unit at
Vancouver
General Hospital, as well as BC Cancer Control Agency) and with
international diving industries
(CanDive, International Hard Suits, CanDive Marine Services and Mustang
Industries).
With her academic and industry experiences she identified the need for
general public access to hyperbaric oxygen therapy and founded the
first private
medical health care hyperbaric centre - BaroMedical. This is
as a
complementory service centre, adjunct to other health care providers
that recognize the
value of oxygen in treatment of various ailments. The centre includes a
complete microvascular assessment laboratory (first in Canada) for
non-invasive screening of peripheral vascular insufficiencies.
The BaroMedical Centre operates as both a therapy clinic as well as
teaching facility. So far she has
trained 13 physicians on hosted countless seminars and
presentation on hyperbaric medicine and microvascular
assessment .
Dr. Savić Kallesoe is a regular attendend and speakers
at national and international symposia on hyperbaric medicine and wound
care.

Denmark and has worked and trained in Canada since 1990. He
has
co-authored several biotech patents related to neuroscience and
rehabilitation inventions and has been involved in startup of biotech
industries.
In BaroMedical his technical expertise in
diagnostic technologies has been the foundation for development of
microcirculation assessment procedures where the main idea has been to
improve the
success of medical treatments and speed up recovery in
rehabilitation.
He has been featured in
talk shows and news media and is a regular attandend at national and
international symposia on hyperbaric medicine.
Dr. Per-Olof Barr, Scientific
advisor
Ph.D., M.D., B.Sc.
Dr.
Barr has pioneered the field of hyperbaric medicine since the 1960'ies
and continues to guide, support and inspire researchers and
