eHealth Lab

eHealth, the use of ICT in healthcare, is increasingly becoming a societal and research-driven topic. eHealth projects typically have a multistakeholder consortium involving at least patients, care providers, medical specialists, ICT developers and industrial design researchers.

Industrial Design research contributes knowledge and creative skills on human centered design to ehealth. We aim to understand and design how eHealth can be made useful and relevant for all stakeholders. To reach this aim we conduct research on human centered design, interaction design, product service design, shared decision making, patient profiling, persuasive game design and robotics.

The Faculty of Industrial Design Engineering has initiated the eHealth@IDE platform. eHealth@IDE stimulates collaboration in research, education, and valorisation on eHealth. At this moment the platform hosts the following domains:

Mingling with Robots

How can robots engender different characters in their behaviour and appearance?

Teamwork in paediatric oncolocy

A tool that enhances teamwork and communication among staff, parents and patients.

Persuasive Game Design

Conducting research on gamification to motivate users for behavioral change.

eHealth Lab | Research Groups

Design for Health Motivation

The Design for Health Motivation research group is comprised of researchers who start from a human-centred design perspective to end with a design that motivates people to care for their health.
