Hi! I am a PhD researcher in the department of Psychology, Health and Technology (BMS Faculty). My research activities are in the area of eHealth; I use a holistic approach to develop, implement and evaluate health technologies. This means I collaborate with potential end-users and relevant (business) stakeholders, to be sure that the technology matches with their needs and wishes, and their environment, but also meets legal criteria. 

The aim of my PhD research is to understand and overcome the technological, legal and financial barriers that threaten a successful implementation of eHealth applications, as for example legal issues, new EU regulations on medical devices (MDR), and privacy (GDPR). This research is part of the eHealth Junior Consortium (Cluster 3, WP7).

Previous projects:

As junior researcher, I previously worked on the development, implementation and evaluation of eHealth technologies for cardiovascular (e.g. Benefit) and infectious diseases (Coronamelder, Zoonosis). Additionally, I studied the influence of practical implications of population health messages on the willingness of citizens to take the Sars-CoV-2 vaccine, and the impact of motivational interviewing on the adherence of people with diabetes on orthopedic shoes.
