Associate Professor

About Me

Christina Bode works as assistant professor at the Department of Psychology, Health and Technology at the University of Twente and the Arthritis Centre Twente. Her research focuses on adaptation to chronic somatic disease from a self-regulation perspective with attention for life span issues and on the development of patient reported outcomes (PRO’s). Her focus on chronic fatigue in people with somatic conditions combines these lines of research and investigates them with innovative technology.
