C. Wrede MSc | People Pages: Find employees & contact details

I am a doctoral researcher working at the intersection of Gerontology and technology. My main research interest centers around the development and implementation of assistive technologies that contribute to self-management and care innovation within an aging society. More specifically, my focus lies on researching innovations that facilitate extended independent living of people with dementia and support their caregivers.

I obtained my Master’s degree in Positive Clinical Psychology and Technology from the University of Twente in 2016. Afterwards, I worked as a lecturer in the Bachelor program Psychology and as a junior researcher before I started my PhD project within the Department of Psychology, Health & Technology in August 2018. Alongside my PhD research, I am supervising graduation projects and have taught in courses focused on eHealth development.

Smart monitoring solutions in home-based dementia care

In light of the challenge of an aging society, older adults with dementia will increasingly be encouraged, when possible, to live at home for longer. While extended independent living is what most people with dementia desire, this often places more pressure on their (in)formal caregivers to meet daily health- or safety-related needs. The goal of my PhD project is to gain a better understanding of how innovative monitoring technology can be used to provide meaningful support in home-based dementia care in an unobtrusive and privacy-friendly way. We apply a participatory approach in which the demands of potential users, healthcare providers, and healthcare financiers stay central. The project is funded by the Dutch Organization for Health Research and Development (ZonMw) and is supervised by Prof. Dr. Lisette van Gemert-Pijnen and Dr. Annemarie Braakman-Jansen.
