About J.B. (Job) van Steenkiste
Introduction
I’m conducting my PhD research at the Open University of the Netherlands, the Maasstad Hospital and the Erasmus Medical Centre. I’m supervised by Prof. Dr. Ir. D. Dohmen (Open University), Prof. Dr. C. Boersma (Open University), Dr. J. Versmissen (Erasmus MC) and Dr. I. Verberk (Maasstad Hospital). My research is on digital transformation in healthcare. To create new business models for digital health care in the Netherlands, high quality clinical data on the effectiveness of digital health interventions needs to be gathered first. During my PhD, I’m using home blood pressure telemonitoring (HBPT) and digital coaching on lifestyle interventions as a business case for this purpose. I will be coordinating the Telemonitoring and E-Coaching in Hypertension (TECH) trial and will specifically investigate clinical and cost-effectiveness of HBPT combined with E-coaching. Additionally, I will gather data on the effect of HBPT on drug adherence in adults with hypertension.
