What is your role within the Academic Collaborative Centre related to people with PIMD?
I’m currently a PhD student focusing on the use of technology in people with PIMD. First of all, the project examines the specific types of technology that are being used in people with PIMD and the benefits on their quality of life. Secondly, we want to get a better understanding of the implementation process. Therefore, we study factors related to the implementation of technology in people with PIMD.
What do you hope to achieve?
The main goal is to improve the implementation of technology in people with PIMD and contribute to sustainable use of these technologies. With this, I would like to make life a little bit brighter for people with PIMD and their families. I hope to ease the burden on families, so that they can spend less time making the necessary care arrangements and more time enjoying their day. To achieve this goal, we need to combine our scientific knowledge with the knowledge and experience of the families and healthcare professionals in our target group. Together we can normalise the use of technology in people with PIMD and make sure that they can benefit from technology as well.
