Iris Steenhout
Iris Steenhout has a special interest in the transformative nature of shared digital database-assisted applications (sDDAAs) and works on the nexus of life sciences, computer science and criminology. While eHealth has potential for a highly personalized medical care, Iris Steenhout looks beyond the rampant optimism that often accompanies eHealth solutions, like sDDAAs. Her focus is on the adoption, adaption and handling of these technologies by both caretakers and caregivers and offers an original perspective into an underexplored field, highlighting both the potential and limitations of sDDAAs, and taking into account the various intended and unintended consequences.
