Monique Tabak, PhD is a senior researcher at Roessingh Research and Development and University of Twente. Monique has a background in Biomedical Engineering. She obtained her PhD degree on promoting physical activity behaviour and self-management in patients with COPD through telemedicine. She has vast experience in eHealth research for patients with chronic conditions and in rehabilitation through several national and international projects (e.g. IS-ACTIVE (AAL), eWALL (FP7), InLife (H2020), BIONIC (H2020)) and in close collaboration with care centres. Currently, her research focuses on Personalized eHealth technology for rehabilitation.
