3 PhD positions on Big Data applications for cardio care at Eindhoven University of Technology

The STRAP project is collaboration between three leading Dutch universities and several partners from the public and private sector interested in healthcare, funded by the Dutch NWO program 'Commit2Data'. Three PhD candidates will be hired at the Eindhoven University of Technology with an interest in developing and evaluating interactive applications to support patients to collect relevant data to support the early detection and prevention of secondary heart failure and to increase the efficiency in early diagnosis of heart disease. They will collaborate with two other PhD candidates working respectively at Erasmus University and Delft University of Technology, as well as with a range of SME's involved in the project.

More specifically the NWO-funded STRAP project shall develop a data collection platform integrating state of the art self-tracking technologies to enable patients:

a) To make measurements at home which would otherwise require visiting the clinic;

b) To collect longitudinal data pertaining to daily life activity, emotions, and other relevant aspects;

c) To ensure higher adherence in self-tracking through the application of behaviour change techniques and gamification.
