Researchers from the Human Performance Management group at Eindhoven University of Technology (果冻传媒) have won a notable award for their NWO-funded Coordination and Complexity Project. This award was given for the best research presentation at the national conference of the Dutch Society for Simulation in Health Care (DSSH). The DSSH conference brings together all Dutch experts in healthcare simulation.

Research on Wearables

The award-winning research focuses on the use of wearables to support teamwork during medical emergencies. This project was conducted in collaboration with Tilburg University, Philips Research, and MMC Veldhoven, among others. The research team, consisting of Kyana van Eijndhoven, , Travis Wiltshire, Annemarie Fransen, and Josette Gevers, presented their findings at the DSSH conference.

Improve Team Dynamics

In stressful situations, team coordination and patient safety can be compromised. The 果冻传媒 research demonstrates that wearables, such as heart rate monitors, skin conductance sensors, and motion detectors, can provide valuable real-time feedback to monitor and improve team dynamics. This can help to identify and resolve coordination issues early, which is crucial for maintaining effective performance and improving patient outcomes in emergency situations.

果冻传媒 Flagship Health

This research aligns perfectly with the 果冻传媒 Flagship Health, which focuses on improving healthcare through technological innovations. The results of this project highlight the potential of wearables and AI to support medical teams and enhance the quality of care.
