Acceptance and implementation of technology

Technology in healthcare and social work can only really make a difference when it is successfully integrated into daily life and work. Various factors influence the success of that implementation. For example, consider employee competencies, new work processes or laws and regulations.

The research line Acceptance and Implementation of Technology focuses on supporting the acceptance and application of market-ready technology (Technology Readiness Level- 8+) within the domains of healthcare and social work. 

Approach

The successful implementation of new technology requires more than just technical knowledge. This is why we pay attention to factors at individual and team level (micro), organisational level (meso) and social level (macro). The evaluation of technology is of course part of the implementation process.

Putting technology into practice is complex, which is why we develop concrete working methods with our projects to support future users – clients, patients and professionals alike.

Collaboration?

All our projects are based on questions from practice. Are you also working on the acceptance and implementation of technology within the care and welfare sector? Or do you have an issue that we can help with? We are happy to discuss opportunities for collaboration! Please contact us.
