More about Yvonne

I am working as a lecturer at the faculty of Health of Saxion University of Applied Sciences. As a researcher I am also a member of the research group Smart Health of Saxion (field of community-based health promotion). In October 2021 I received my PhD at the Amsterdam University Medical Centres. My thesis focused on the development and pilot-testing of a person-centred tablet programme (FindMyApps) to support people with mild dementia in their self-management and meaningful activities. In November I started a two-year funded postdoc study for improving social health of community dwelling elderly with a migration background by means of participatory action research.
