The Healthy Society Program highlights the scale-up project MenoPressure Personalized

In an interview series by the Healthy Society Program of the Province of South Holland, Leiden-Delft-Erasmus Universities and Medical Delta, theme leaders and partners introduce themselves. This month, the Healthy Society Program website published three interviews about the scale-up project 'MenoPressure Personalized'.

Dr. Petra Siemonsma discusses personalisation, co-creation and scaling up, as well as the lessons learned from the scale-up project 'MenoPressure Personalized':

“Personalisation requires a careful balance. If you personalise too much, you end up with an intervention that works for only one person and is not scalable. But if you make it too generic, you fail to reach people.”

Prof. Dr. Jeanine Roeters van Lennep explains how to design health interventions in a way that truly makes them effective:

“In academia, the traditional focus is on patient care and research. However, translating knowledge and data into practical applications for women themselves is the real innovation challenge. That requires different partners: organisations, companies and researchers with experience in action-oriented research, such as Petra Siemonsma. For a long time, that felt like a missing link to me. In this project, I experience how powerful it is to have that link in place and to truly create impact.”

How do you translate technological and behavioural science innovations into sustainable health improvements in practice? Dr. Ir. Luuk Simons talks about this. As founder of the Health Coach Program and researcher at Delft University of Technology, he operates at the intersection of science, technology and implementation. “Without tailored support, advice is often well-intentioned but disappears after three months. The real goal is for people to develop skills that last, even after the coaching ends. You can only achieve that through personalisation.”
