Healthcare Transition and the Use of Healthcare Technology
On Tuesday, 14 April 2026, DASH (UMCG), the Jantina Tammes School of Digital Society, Technology and AI, and Aletta are hosting an inspiring day at the House of Connections, fully dedicated to healthcare transition and healthcare technology.
This day is specially designed for young researchers and students: PhD candidates, Master’s students, postdocs, and university/university of applied sciences students working with technology in healthcare. MBO students and professionals from hospitals, residential care, and home care are also warmly invited to share their practical experiences.
What to expect?
In the morning, we dive into the practice of Healthcare Transition and the Use of Healthcare Technology: healthcare professionals from hospitals, residential care, and home care will show which technologies do and do not work in their daily routines. An open, interactive conversation where you will hear directly about opportunities and challenges.
Around lunchtime, PhD candidates and Master’s students will present their research during a lively poster session — the perfect place to meet one another, receive feedback, and create unexpected connections.
In the afternoon, small-scale workshops take place, composed on the basis of the submitted abstracts. These workshops focus on concrete cases, hands-on experiences, and direct applicability. Researchers and healthcare professionals will explore together how technology can truly make a difference in the workplace.
Submitting an abstract
From mid-December, PhD candidates and Master’s students can submit an abstract (max. 300 words) via the online form. The emphasis is on the impact on patients and daily practice. The selected abstracts will help shape the content of the afternoon workshops.
Invitation and registration
In January, the official invitation will follow, including the full programme and the possibility to register for the plenary morning session, the poster session, and/or the workshops.
Don’t miss it!
14 April 2026 will be a day full of inspiration, connection, and impact, where MBO, HBO, and university participants come together to build the future of healthcare.
We look forward to seeing you there!
