By using a user user-centered design approach, I helped ATAG design an oven with features that people actually want to use in their kitchens. We created an award-winning product that can support experienced cooks while at the same time guiding novice users.

Deep Brain Stimulation is a technique that alleviates some of the symptoms of Parkinson’s patients by introducing an electrode into a precise area of the brain and stimulating it with an electrical charge. I was part of the VanBerlo team that helped Sapiens, a Dutch medical startup, to identify user-related challenges that medical professionals would face throughout the procedure, and to design their software for brain surgery planning.

A rapidly graying population will bring a lot of strain to the care industry, where nurses will have a hard time keeping up with the extra pressure. In this project, funded by the Dutch Ministry of Economic Affairs and carried out by a consortium of research institutes and private companies, I was tasked with analyzing the user needs of nurses and care receivers, and to identify use cases for which remotely operated robots could lend a helping hand as an alternative to the shortage of workforce.
