Innovator in the Spotlight

Towards a more inclusive society to raise awareness of basic skills gaps

In the Netherlands, 2.5 million people struggle daily with reading, writing, math, and digital skills, also called basic skills. These deficiencies make it difficult for them to fully participate in society, such as reading and understanding a letter or buying a train ticket, leading to various personal and societal problems.

New project leader Medicaid project

Hi, my name is Mylene Frankfort and on April 1st I started as a project leader for the Eindhoven MedTech Innovation Center (e/MTIC). Together with the Recover@Home student team, we will work on remote healthcare solutions to enable the recovery of patients at home, focusing specifically on innovative ways to assess quality of life and patient/staff experience. This project is supported by Eindhoven Engine under the main project ‘Medicaid’.

Innovation loop

With a background in Biomedical Engineering I am pleased to be able to work in this inspiring multidisciplinary environment. This new role complements my current position at Máxima MC where I work on projects mainly focusing on remote patient management, remote care and rehabilitation. By being part of this collaboration I am looking forward to connecting with students, researchers and other project members to set up an innovation loop, where we will work on a development platform at TU/e together with industry partners, and validate use cases in a clinical setting.

Do you want to share some thoughts or are you interested in joining this team? I am present at Disruptor @TU/e campus on Fridays! Look forward to meeting you!
