A population that is physically, mentally, and socially more vital and healthier; from young to old. That is what the Vital Delta program: Medical Delta’s journey towards vitality and health aims to achieve. The practice-oriented research program has been established through a consortium of the four universities of applied sciences within Medical Delta (Hogeschool Rotterdam, De Haagse Hogeschool, Hogeschool Leiden, and Hogeschool Inholland).
In the research program, citizens, students, clients, healthcare professionals, and researchers collaborate with universities, colleges, healthcare institutions, and businesses. The interdisciplinary program aims to improve the health and well-being of the population in the delta region of Leiden, The Hague, and Rotterdam by promoting the development of innovative (technological) health solutions through practice-oriented research.
Supported Vital focuses on designing, developing, and safely implementing care and wellness technology.
Physically Vital develops, evaluates, and implements innovations to promote a healthy lifestyle in vulnerable target groups.
Socially Vital stimulates and improves collaboration between professionals, particularly in the social and health domains.
Self Vital aims to empower people to take control of their own lives and health.
In each of these work packages, collaboration between healthcare, the social domain, and technology is the key focus. To ensure this, each work package is led by two professors from different universities of applied sciences and coordinated by a work package leader.
Vitale Delta receives a grant from Regieorgaan SIA. Additionally, Medical Delta and the four universities of applied sciences also contribute to the realization of the program. Read more at www.vitaledelta.nl
