(author)Designing new and inclusive diagnostic tools to detect Neglected Tropical Diseases (NTDs) to achieve rational disease control requires a co-design process where end-users’ input is important. Failure to involve all potential end-users in new diagnostics for NTDs can result in low use and adoption failure, leading to persistent infection hot...journal article 2023

Samenjo, K.T. (author), Oosting, R.M. (author), Bakker, C.A. (author), Diehl, J.C. (author)Healthcare facilities in low-resource settings in Sub-Saharan Africa are plagued<br/>with issues of non-functional and obsolete medical devices, which ultimately<br/>end up prematurely disposed of as waste. With increasing healthcare demands,<br/>stopping medical device disposal is imperative. One way to achieve this is<br/>to leverage circular...journal article 2023

Onasanya, A.A. (author), van Engelen, J.M.L. (author), Oladunni, Opeyemi (author), Oladepo, Oladimeji (author), Diehl, J.C. (author)BACKGROUND: Schistosomiasis is one of the neglected tropical diseases targeted for elimination by 2030. Achieving disease elimination requires collaboration between stakeholders, country ownership and the involvement of community-level stakeholders. The state of stakeholder relationship determines the ease and timeliness of meeting disease...journal article 2023

Nicolai, Noa (author), Diehl, J.C. (author), Raaijmakers, E.R.L. (author), Knulst, A.J. (author), Maharjan, Suraj (author)Vacuum-Assisted wound care (VAC) is effective for treating complex wounds, but is hardly available in low-resource settings. An affordable, portable and safe VAC device was developed to treat patients with chronic and complex wounds: the Wound Care (WOCA) Pump. The WOCA safely controls the pressure accurately (+/- 10%) between -70 and -125 mmHg...poster 2023

(author), van Lieshout, Lisette (author), Andi, Wellington Oyibo (author), Vdovin, Gleb (author), Diehl, J.C. (author)For many parasitic diseases, the microscopic examination of clinical samples such as urine and stool still serves as the diagnostic reference standard, primarily because microscopes are accessible and cost-effective. However, conventional microscopy is laborious, requires highly skilled personnel, and is highly subjective. Requirements for...journal article 2022

(author), Diehl, J.C. (author)Urinary schistosomiasis is a waterborne parasitic infection caused by Schistosoma haematobium that affects approximately 30 million people annually in Nigeria. Treatment and eradication of this infection require effective diagnostics. However, current diagnostic tests have critical shortcomings and consequently are of limited value to...journal article 2022

Kersten, W.C. (author), Diehl, J.C. (author), van Engelen, J.M.L. (author)It seems relevant for designers who are dealing with complex societal issues to be able to assess whether they appreciate the complexity of the design task sufficiently before the stages of the design and production process are reached, as these require informed decisions before committing substantial resources. We put forward that the ...journal article 2022

van Dijk, R. (author), Intriago Zambrano, J.C. (author), Diehl, J.C. (author), Ertsen, M.W. (author)Despite extensive research on farmers’ constraints and decisions, technology developers, policymakers and development organizations still encounter difficulties in relating policies to farmers’ strategies. Often, the concept of ‘smallholders’ is applied as explaining and predicting farmers’ decisions – suggesting that specific strategies of...journal article 2022

(author)Purpose: The healthcare sector is responsible for 6–7% of CO<sub>2</sub> emissions. The intensive care unit (ICU) contributes to these CO<sub>2</sub> emissions and a shift from a linear system to a circular system is needed. The aim of our research was to perform a material flow analysis (MFA) in an academic ICU. Secondary aims were to obtain...journal article 2022

Intriago Zambrano, J.C. (author), Diehl, J.C. (author), Ertsen, M.W. (author)Improved water management is an important strategy to support smallholder farming, and thus to foster food security and improved livelihoods. Within this strategy, technologies like water pumps, especially those operating on renewable energies, are key, as they are more environmentally sound and affordable alternatives. Their successful and...journal article 2022

Intriago Zambrano, J.C. (author), Diehl, J.C. (author), Ertsen, M.W. (author)Smallholder farming is the cornerstone of the agricultural sector in the Global South. It produces 80% of the food in Sub-Saharan Africa and Asia, though it accounts for barely 12% of the global farmland. Its sustainable intensification is therefore paramount in the accomplishment of Sustainable Development Goal 2: Zero Hunger. In this respect,...abstract 2021

Intriago Zambrano, J.C. (author), Diehl, J.C. (author), Ertsen, M.W. (author)Reduction of poverty is a main goal in the global development agenda. The most extreme forms of poverty are mainly rooted in the Global South, and even more engrained in its rurality. Such poverty is not only characterized by infimum incomes, but also by the lack of access to many resources and services: health, sanitation, drinking water,...abstract 2021

Intriago Zambrano, J.C. (author), Diehl, J.C. (author), Ertsen, M.W. (author)Smallholder farming is a backbone of millions of livelihoods in the Global South. It provides up to 80% of the food demanded in Sub-Saharan Africa and Asia while scarcely occupying 12% of the global farmland. About 1.5 billion deeply poor households—especially those located in rural areas—depend directly on smallholder agriculture. Stimulating...abstract 2021
