Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e), Department of Industrial Design (Industrial Design (tue.nl)) in The Netherlands is looking to join a consortium for the future call HORIZON-HLTH-2023-STAYHLTH-01-01 (The Silver Deal - Person-centred health and care in European regions) to act as work package leader and/or task leader.

We offer expertise in:
- Co-creational and user-centered design for vulnerable groups to support behaviour change
- Design and implementation of person-centred digital healthcare technologies such as integrated care solutions, serious games, connected wearables, social robots and self-monitoring devices, with a focus on extramural contexts
- Regional/national network and access to living field labs and vulnerable groups
The Industrial Design department of TU/e is internationally known for Research through Design with a multidisciplinary approach; combining design, engineering and social sciences. Health is one of the focal application areas for our research.
