The Niers Fund eHealth Voucher is awarded annually to a bachelor or master student, PhD or young alumnus (within three years after graduation) who has an innovative idea for an eHealth solution. The voucher, consisting of an amount of 5,000 euros, is made possible by the Niers Fund, a Named Fund of the University Fund Twente. The voucher is awarded in collaboration with the Department of Biomedical Signals and Systems of the University of Twente and the eHealth cluster of Roessingh Research and Development.
The voucher aims to stimulate new ideas for innovative eHealth solutions. Participants can submit an idea or a prototype, with an explanation of the impact for care or patient, the goal, the operation, the technical feasibility and the expected market potential. The prize must be used by the winner as 'seed money' to further the idea. In addition to the cash prize, it will be examined - in consultation with the winner - how the UT can support the winner with hours, materials and workspace. So that the winning idea can be developed into a prototype (e.g. in the Design Lab) or the winning prototype can be evaluated and tested (supervised by a researcher).
The award ceremony will be immediately followed by the closing keynote:. If you want to attend, make sure you are present before the start of the Niers fund eHealth voucher presentation.
