de Hoogh, I.M. (author), Reinders, M.J. (author), Doets, E.L. (author), Hoevenaars, F.P.M. (author), Top, J.L. (author)The current health status of the general public can substantially benefit from a healthy diet. Using a personalized approach to initiate healthy dietary behavior seems to be a promising strategy, as individuals differ in terms of health status, subsequent dietary needs, and their desired behavior change support. However, providing personalized...article 2023

(author), Braakhuis, H. (author)Currently the only methods for non-genotoxic carcinogenic hazard assessment accepted by most regulatory authorities are lifetime carcinogenicity studies. However, these involve the use of large numbers of animals and the relevance of their predictive power and results has been scientifically challenged. With increased availability of innovative...article 2020

Tabasi, A. (author), Kingma, I. (author), de Looze, M.P. (author), van Dijk, W. (author), Koopman, A.S. (author), van Dieën, J.H. (author)Back support exoskeletons are designed to prevent work-related low-back pain by reducing mechanical loading. For actuated exoskeletons, support based on moments actively produced by the trunk muscles appears a viable approach. The moment can be estimated by a biomechanical model. However, one of the main challenges here is the feasibility of...article 2020

Spini, G. (author), van Heesch, M.P.P. (author), Veugen, P.J.M. (author), Chatterjea, S. (author)Optimizing the workflow of a complex organization such as a hospital is a difficult task. An accurate option is to use a real-time locating system to track locations of both patients and staff. However, privacy regulations forbid hospital management to assess location data of their staff members. In this exploratory work, we propose a secure...article 2019

Klein Velderman, M. (author), Pannebakker, F.D. (author), van Vliet, W. (author), Reijneveld, S.A. (author)Objective: Parental divorce has strong impacts on children. Evidence-based programs to support young children after parental divorce are rare. The U.S.-developed Children of Divorce Intervention Program (CODIP) is one of these. CODIP’s effectiveness outside the U.S. setting is to be further replicated. This study aimed at cultural adaptation of...article 2018

(author), Bruijnzeels, M.A. (author)Introduction: Integrated care is considered to be a means to reduce costs, improve the quality of care and generate better patient outcomes. At present, little is known about integrated care in maternity care systems. We developed questionnaires to examine integrated care in two different settings, using the taxonomy of the Rainbow Model of...article 2017

(author)Lately, there has been significant interest in the noninvasive manipulation of particles and liquids. The reported acoustic methods rely on either the acoustic radiation force or acoustic streaming. The latter can be used in developed flows to induce fluid velocities angled to the liquid flow direction. These methods often use standing wave...conference paper 2015
