In her inaugural lecture, “Technology for a Healthy Future – Co-creating Innovation for Care and Wellbeing,” Kuijt-Evers showed what role technology can play in this context. Not technology as an end in itself, but as a means to support people in their daily lives, to assist healthcare professionals in their work, and to contribute to appropriate care.
Drawing on examples from her research, and with contributions from, among others, Marijke Will-Janssen, she demonstrated how technology can help older adults live independently at home for longer, support recovery and rehabilitation at home, and help healthcare professionals remain healthy and sustainably employable.
