Recording Science Meets Business: Cooperation in Digital Health

The recording of the Science Meets Business: Cooperation in Digital Health is available. We hope we can inspire you with the R4heal project. R4Heal is a new initiative from Radboudumc and private partners to create an “interactive personalized healing environment” where, with the help of advanced technologies, patients recover better and faster after major surgery. Several factors influence the patient’s healing during a recovery process. That is why personalized healing is so important. This is summarized with the 4 r’s: Relief, Rest, Relax and Recover.
This initiative combines smart sensoring, an interactive videowall and virtual reality games reducing pain and stress and improving sleep and mobility.

Recording workshop Brilliant Failures

In the online workshop “Brilliant failures” we worked on make your innovation successful. Normally we don’t talk about innovation failures with entrepreneurs. They are rarely shared even though they are often the most valuable source for learning how to do it better tomorrow. Today we practice looking at failures to learn from them. Wil Jansen, Marlies Rikken and Koen de Jong of Innovalor explain which important failure factors play a role in the failure of your innovation. Based on previous failures, we know exactly what the pitfalls are. They listed five important failure factors that can ruin the flying start of your innovation and company. These five factors can be found in the recording of the webinar. With the help of these five factors a model has been developed to test your innovation.

Good luck with your innovation!

AI for life podcast 5: when is virtual realistic enough?

Subject of this fifth episode: the use of AI in “virtual agents” to train people, for example to prepare them for certain work situations. Together with Tibor Bosse (Radboud University), Romy Blankendaal (TNO) and Eric Jutten (The Simulation Crew) we discuss questions such as: what is a virtual agent, how smart does the virtual agent actually have to be to be effective, and is enough to be only virtual or do we also need other (human) feedback to be convincing. Questions that are the subject of research at Radboud University and Radboudumc. For example, it has been investigated whether NS employees can be trained with the help of these agents and VR glasses, among other things aimed at good interaction with the customer. Have fun listening!
