Responsible Innovation of Artificial Intelligence: at Erasmus MC

In this study, the aim is to find out how Erasmus MC can properly prepare for the AI Act. An iterative design approach was utilized to explore what AI project members may experience during this regulatory process. Several factors have emerged during this experimental study, including the allocation of responsibility, the importance of education...

SDAE-A toolkit for developing remote patient monitoring in social, daily activity and related emotion: A study in colorectal cancer patients during the follow-up phase in the Netherlands

Colorectal cancer is the third most common cancer disease worldwide with highly fatal. It has accounted for 10% of the global cancer incidence (Bray et al., 2018). In the Netherlands, patients who have undergone treatment and surgery for colorectal cancer typically enter a five-year follow-up phase. During this period, patients often experience...

Adapting care robot Tessa for early-stage dementia with implementation through general practitioners

Towards a quieter neonatal intensive care unit: evaluating and visualizing soundscapes to raise awareness on sound-producing events

A soundscape is the acoustic environment that is constantly surrounding us. Soundscapes in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) might adversely affect neonates, their families, and healthcare providers. In this unit, the number of alarms and nuisance is very high, and studies show that it negatively affects both the well-being of patients and...

From Prototype to Proposition: a Design Perspective on Scaling The Box: Framing Design Opportunities for Scaling while Supporting an Efficient Workflow that Reduces the Burden on Healthcare Professionals

The Box contains monitoring devices patients can use to perform monitoring activities in the comfort of their home. The success of the service relies on active patient participation. With The Box, the treating medical team now has insights in the patient’s health condition from a distance. It doesn’t require the patient to be physically present...

Peri-operative care of major gastrointestinal surgeries through telemonitoring: A strategic design approach to the integration of telemonitoring services in peri-operative care

This project envisions the future of telemonitoring for peri-operative care. Through an extensive literature research and further expert and context exploration, a design strategy is created, as a starting point for the development of new services and technologies in healthcare around surgical environments. The design process with a strong focus...

Supporting a healthy dyadic lifestyle following a myocardial infarction using eHealth technology: Experiencing a Myocardial Infarction together

Problem In the current care pathway for patients suffering from a Myocardial Infarction (MI), a paradox has been identified in long-term chronic care: modification of cardiovascular risk factors reduce mortality and prevent recurrent cardiac events. However, MI survivors rarely change their lifestyle and relapse often in old habits. The...
