Research Group Rehabilitation and Technology
Rehabilitation means: working on recovery and a healthy lifestyle to participate in society again. Combining care technology and traditional rehabilitation care challenges the patient to exercise and be more active, making the treatment more effective. Care innovation in rehabilitation requires collaboration in the innovation process between developers, care professionals and education. It also requires research on the added value of technology in rehabilitation care.
The research group Rehabilitation and Technology studies how technology contributes to efficient and future-proof rehabilitation care. We do this by creating, implementing and evaluation innovations for rehabilitation care, together with companies, patients and professionals. These innovations can support people's rehabilitation, for example by giving them apps to exercise on their own and to monitor their progress and lifestyle. Technological and social innovations can also challenge people to be physically active or to support other healthy behaviour. Technology in rehabilitation can also improve the care process with artificial intelligence and individually collected data or big data. The research group Rehabilitation and Technology is a joint research group between The Hague University of Applied Sciences and Basalt (www.basaltrevalidatie.nl).
2 themes
The activities of the research group operate at the intersection of care and technology and the intersection of practice-based and scientific research. The research uses a co-creation process and develops, evaluates and implements eHealth and care technology within the following themes:- better rehabilitation care through the use of technology
- promoting a healthier lifestyle in people who are rehabilitating through the use of technology

Jeroen Dikken
Within his current line of research 'the training of nurses in an (inter)professional context', he focuses on educational issues in nursing care practice. Through his research, he seeks to identify the training techniques required to develop successful nurse education programmes (efficient and effective) that help maintain a strong knowledge base, skills, positive attitudes and behaviour of nurses. With this research, he aims to contribute to the training of excellent nurses, which will lead to excellent quality of care. In addition to this research, he holds a number of national board positions and works as a Principal Lecturer at the Nursing School of The Hague University of Applied Sciences. He also works at the research group of Urban Ageing.

Binnen het Lectoraat Revalidatie en Technologie zet Bram, docent en teamleider bij CMD, samen met collega’s en studenten kennis en ervaring van gebruikersgerichte ontwerpprocessen in. Binnen verschillende projecten worden wensen en behoeften van gebruikers en andere stakeholders in kaart gebracht. Ideeën en concepten worden middels prototypes uitgeprobeerd en bestaande en potentiële oplossingen worden onderzocht op gebruiksvriendelijkheid. Deze intensieve samenwerking zorgt voor betrokkenheid in meerdere stadia van innovatie en zo kunnen we de producten over de tijd heen zien groeien wat kennis oplevert over ontwerpprocessen binnen het toepassingsdomein van e-revalidatie.
