Can We Hijack Our Body's Electronical Signals to Restore Health?

Professor Wouter Serdijn talks about his work on electroceuticals: implantable and injectable biomedical devices that interact with the neurological pathways of the human body. These devices already contribute to the treatment of diseases such as Parkinson's and are used to restore lost vision and hearing.
Health is one of the major social themes of today. TU Delft has been working for years on solutions that not only further improve the quality and safety of healthcare, but also keep it accessible for future generations. Science, technology and designs are used for sustainable healthcare.
In a series of accessible health colleges, the university is now also taking the outside world into the future technological challenges in healthcare.
During this interactive evening, health technology in its smallest (cell level) and largest (universe) form, on earth and in space - is discussed and two prominent Delft professors talk about their health-related technological research.
TU Delft Health College is a recurring free event, in which current topics and developments in the field of health care are discussed. The talks are freely accessible to everyone and are organized by the TU Delft Health Initiative.
Renowned doctors, scientists and engineers who conduct research within various branches of healthcare provide accessible insights into their field of expertise.
They are assisted by Dutch celebrities such as André Kuipers, Hugo Borst and Maarten van der Weijden, who have shared their personal experiences and views on health care in the past Health Colleges.
Keep an eye on the TU Delft Health Initiative website for the next Health College!
