For this ambitious project University of Twente is forming a group of 6 postdoc researchers. Being one of them, you will study how different forms of early involvement of citizens can contribute to responsible innovation in digital health.

Innovations will relate to those tested and implemented in the 4 pilots of Citizenlab:
Citizens & diabetes
Healthy citizens at work (care at home & work)
Citizen involvement in development and embedding of new technologies (Rheumatism HandScan & Diameter),
Citizens at home,
but also beyond. You will collaborate with other postdocs and partners in Citizenlab and with partners in Norway. Part of the position is related to an international project funded by the Norwegian Research Council.
