Engineering solutions that will impact people's health
TU/e contributes to the progress of technical sciences and the development of technological innovations. Its research plays a significant role in the international scientific community.
Our society faces numerous challenges in the field of healthcare. These include an ageing population, a growing number of people with lifestyle related diseases like obesity and diabetes and other chronic diseases, as well as rapidly rising staff shortages. These challenges require new products and services in the healthcare industry and technology can play a crucial role in addressing those challenges.
That is why Health has been a key focus at TU/e for many years. In fact, TU/e was the first Dutch university to offer a bachelor’s degree in Biomedical Engineering, and Health is now one of TU/e’s research areas, positioning the university as a leader in this field. Technology with a human face.

Humans and AI in Healthcare
A future with artificial intelligence in healthcare: a lot of questions, expectations, and doomsday scenarios often arise quickly. With the new three-part (Dutch-spoken) documentary series "Mens & AI in de zorg", the Dutch Ministry of Health, Welfare and Sport wants to pay attention to all these questions.
Each episode addresses questions about an #AI-infused healthcare. Journalist and AI advisor Wouter van der Bij visit experts and looks for answers.
