Aletta Dive; Stronger together: Technology as an ally towards a healthier life for vulnerable individuals
When: | Fr 18-10-2024 10:00 - 16:00 |
Where: | House of Connections |
Join the discussion on the potential of technology for vulnerable populations, from social robots to digital literacy and social impact, at the Aletta Dive ‘Stronger together: Technology as an ally for a healthier life for vulnerable individuals’ on Friday 18 October from 10 am - 4 pm. Host for the day will be Jetse Goris. The working language will be a mix of Dutch and English.
From the collaborating partners within the Aletta Jacobs School of Public Health and the North Netherlands region, we will focus on practice-based applications of digital care to promote healthy living for vulnerable groups. This time in close cooperation with the Jantina Tammes School of Digital Society, Technology and AI.
In the Dive, we will investigate what does and does not work in practice and how to bring this knowledge together. Collaboration between knowledge institutions, but especially between policymakers and care staff, is needed to arrive at feasible practical solutions.
Get inspired for the upcoming Aletta Dive with our two latest podcast episodes !
During the day, inspiring speakers such as Johan van der Meulen, Lieke Brons, Jenny van Doorn, Gloria Araiza Illan, Simone Meertens, Job van ’t Veer, Lysbeth Jongbloed, Esther Metting, Madelon van Oostrom, Raffaela Carloni, Jana Holthower and Kay de Lange will share their insights and experiences on (social) robots, encouraging the use of digital tools, supporting healthcare professionals and design thinking for impact - the user journey, among others.

How to reach vulnerable target groups
Using this Dive as a catalyst, we aim to have a significant, positive impact on the (quality of) lives of vulnerable groups in the Northern Netherlands through technology. In doing so, we encourage cooperation between researchers, policymakers, companies and practitioners to develop and implement new technological solutions. One of the ways we do this is by making follow-up agreements after the Dive for jointly submitting project applications, obtaining funding and making further agreements around consortium formation.This Aletta Dive is relevant to:
-
Professionals committed to healthier lives for vulnerable populations
-
Researchers developing innovative technology solutions
-
Policy makers shaping policy and regulation around healthcare technology
-
Companies offering technology products and services
-
Civil society organisations supporting vulnerable groups
-
End users and representatives of target groups
The Aletta Dive is the place to connect and share knowledge. Together, we inspire each other and work on concrete action points for the future of ourselves and today's more vulnerable people. Join us! Your participation is of great value.
The program committee consists of Maarten Lahr, Job van 't Veer, Jenny van Doorn, Johan van der Meulen, Sita Dijkstra - NHL Stenden Hogeschool - Aletta Jacobs School of Public Health - 8d Games - Marketing, University of Groningen, Jantina Tammes School of Digital Society, Technology and AI
We hope to see you on October 18!
