Objective: Simulation training in medical settings is a cornerstone in medical education to practice technical and non-technical skills. The objective of this study was to evaluate user experiences and initial reactions to a multiplayer virtual reality (VR) simulation designed for anaesthesiologists. Methods: …

Dit afstudeeronderzoek richt zich op het verbeteren van de toegankelijkheid van museale tentoonstellingen voor mensen met een visuele beperking. Musea zijn van oudsher sterk visueel ingesteld, waardoor deze doelgroep vaak wordt uitgesloten van een gelijkwaardige beleving. In samenwerking met Tijdlab …

Managed realignment (MR) involves repositioning coastal or river flood defenses to re-establish tidal flooding and restore intertidal ecosystems in reclaimed areas. The restoration of intertidal ecosystems contributes to flood risk management and achieving nature conservation objectives. However, MR …

As more and more older adults prefer to stay in their homes as they age, there’s a need for technology to support this. A relevant technology is Artificial Intelligence (AI)-driven lifestyle monitoring, utilizing data from sensors placed in the home. This technology is not intended to replace nurses …

In this manuscript we present the results of a four-year monitor among a representative panel of Dutch citizens on the knowledge, awareness and opinions regarding hydrogen. Hydrogen has the potential to play an important role in the energy transition and therefore receives a growing attention. At the …

The study examines the current challenges faced by Dutch farmers and how they prioritize them. Based on literature research and seven in-depth interviews, the main bottlenecks are identified: increasing environmental regulations, economic pressure due to low profit margins and high land and technology …

Background: As more and more older adults prefer to stay in their homes as they age, there’s a need for technology to support this.

The evolving landscape of science communication highlights a shift from traditional dissemination to participatory engagement. This study explores Dutch citizens’ perspectives on science communication, focusing on science capital, public engagement, and communication goals. Using a mixed-methods approach, …

Artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming language access services in healthcare, making interpretation and translation faster and more scalable than ever before. Given that there are approximately 281 million international migrants as of 2024 [1], leveraging AI technology for mitigating language …

A modified genetic algorithm (MGA) optimization procedure, alongside time series machine learning (ML) classifiers, is proposed to minimize handovers in a digital twin-based visible light communication (VLC) system. Frequent handovers have a direct impact on the overall performance of the VLC system …
