Introduction
After obtaining my research master's in Clinical Psychology, I completed my PhD in eHealth for eating disorders. I then worked as a postdoctoral researcher at GGZ Rivierduinen Eating Disorders Ursula, the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, and since 2018 at LUMC, Department of Public Health and Primary Care (PHEG) and the National eHealth Living Lab (NeLL).
Currently, I have a position as an assistant professor. My research focuses on eHealth in the context of public health and primary and secondary care, with a specific emphasis on mental health, chronic diseases, lung diseases (asthma and COPD), and self-management. In addition to research, I also teach; together with colleagues, I coordinate the half minor 'Lifestyle Medicine and Primary Care'.

Scientific research
My research focuses on eHealth in the context of public health and primary and secondary care. Specific areas of focus: mental health, psychology, chronic diseases, lung diseases (asthma and COPD), and self-management.
A selection of projects:
- A ZonMw-funded cost-effectiveness study comparing data-supported, personalized, blended treatment for anxiety and mood disorders compared to usual care.
- An EIC Pathfinder project (EU) in which an international team aims to develop an innovative, portable breath analysis device and corresponding workflow for early detection of COPD exacerbations.
- The co-creation and evaluation of a smoking prevention program in VMBO schools.
- An experiment funded by the Ministry of VWS. In this study we investigated the feasibility and acceptability of a health app platform (‘FitKnip’) providing a budget to purchase preselected trustworthy health apps as an innovative way to support public health.
