Within the SPRONG-Programme HealthTech in Society we are working together to make technological innovations suitable and accessible for people with a lower socio-economic status (SES). Our aim is to promote their health and well-being.
Make technological innovations suitable and accessible for people with a lower socio-economic status (SES).
Promote the health and well-being of citizens.
Contribute to the prevention, relocation and replacement of care.
Strengthen cooperation between different parties.
Various parties are working together on the programme: Hanze University of Applied Sciences, Saxion University of Applied Sciences, various Centres of Expertise, small businesses, care and welfare organisations, knowledge institutions, citizens, the government and people with a lower SES.
PartnersTogether, the parties form three learning communities focused on the prevention, relocation and replacement of care. In these learning communities we work on innovations that actually result in the promotion of health and well-being, that provide added value for society and that are financeable and organisable.

Within the three learning communities we collaborate on making innovations suitable and accessible for citizens in the regions of the North and East of the Netherlands with a lower SES. These innovations must:
– Effectively result in the promotion of health and well-being.
– Deliver added value to society.
– Be financeable and organizable.
– Provide control and direction over one’s own health.
– Be deployable in one’s own living environment.
– Be usable and accessible to both citizens with a lower SES and to health professionals.
The programme ‘HealthTech in Society’ will run for an eight-year period, until the end of 2029. It has been made possible by the Taskforce for Applied Research SIA (Regieorgaan SIA).
