Fieldlabs

The Healthy Living as a Service program, collaborates with various (citizen) initiatives in the Fieldlabs. This collaboration with citizens is at the foundation of the projects ensures that the activities are responsive and in line with the wishes of the citizens. Therefore, the Fieldlabs are an important part of the project.

Project

We believe that everyone has the right to a healthy and fulfilling life. That's why we explore how smart technology, such as "smartwatches" and sensors, can make healthy living accessible to everyone. With our toolbox and artificial intelligence, we will guide you in a personalized way to improve your lifestyle, keeping you motivated in the long run.
