Johan Ullman is a Swedish medical doctor, scientist, and inventor.

Ullman was born on March 14, 1953, in Hallstavik, Sweden, to civil engineer Uddo Ullman, and Barbro Stenkulla. [1] He grew up in Falun, and received his medical degree from the University of Gothenburg, and his specialist degree in anaesthesia and intensive care at the Linköping University Hospital.[2] Ullman has developed a number of inventions, first and foremost related to ergonomics, injury prevention, medical technology, work environment and IT.

In 1996, at Sahlgrenska University Hospital, Ullman developed a method for measuring exposure to human whole-body impact on board high-speed boats. Today, the method is used internationally.[3] This project was however cancelled as it "risked to result in commercial outputs", since some new technologies that Ullman had developed were shown to reduce shock exposure. US Navy - SOCOM and NAVSEA invited Ullman to continue his research in the US.[4]

Johan Ullman is, in 2013 responsible for ergonomics (human factors), and injury prevention at HSBO Pro, a group of experts in design and acquisition of high speed boats,[5] which also stages the HSBO Forum, a biannual international networking event for professionals in the high-speed work boat community.[6]
