Assistant professor

Expertise

I am psychologist and epidemiologist, currently working as assistant professor at the UMCG and the University of Groningen. My dissertation was titled Development of patient centered management of asthma and COPD in primary care with a strong emphasis on the use of technology and patient involvement. I have also worked as project leader eHealth in a large health care organization and I am active as board member or advisor in several patient organisations. These hands-on experiences with patients, health care professionals and health care organisations are valuable in my daily work. Above that, my unique experience in clinical, behavioural and implementation science have led to a solid and multidisciplinary basis for health research. In the past years I have coached and lectured numerous bachelor, master and PhD students with different backgrounds and from different faculties. In my role as project leader and chair I have learned to manage longitudinal (international) projects with researchers, health care professionals and students. My goal is to use my talent, experience and my passion for science to improve scientific knowledge in the field of eHealth. I have developed a website where you can follow my work: www.ehealth4all.info. Recently I have received a VENI Talent Grant to perform research on digital illiteracy in different European countries.
