Healthcare organisations are increasingly using technology to improve the quality of care and ensure its availability. But what is 'good care'? And is this the same for patients, nurses, and managers? To answer these and other questions, we investigate the impact of healthcare technology in collaboration with its users.
Our research on the ethics of technology in healthcare focuses on three main themes. Firstly, we explore technologies in daily care practices, centred on nursing and caring actions. Next, we also investigate the organisation and effects of citizen participation in healthcare innovations and supervise research and implementation processes for healthcare technologies.
Key research themes
- Technology in daily healthcare practice
- Citizen participation in healthcare research and innovations
- Ethical guidance of healthcare research and innovations
Ethical parallel track in the development of QoroNano
In this project, we collaborated with ECsens, a start-up focused on biosensor technology. The collaboration revolved around ethical reflection on the development and implementation of QoroNano, a COVID-19 rapid test.
Knowledge Institutes & Partners
In this focus area, we also worked with ECsens (Occam Dx).
