Research projects

We want to investigate how raising awareness and sensitizing care providers about the sexual needs and experiences of people with young-onset dementia and their partners can contribute to a positive attitude and improved psychosocial care.

With this project, we set out the outlines for a learning module or practical guide that helps (future) healthcare professionals with a migration background deal with the challenges of discrimination in the workplace.

The PHARE project supports the early recognition of psychotic symptoms in residents of care homes and provides caregivers with concrete tools. We explore how residents experience these symptoms, what they need, and develop a shared guideline for daily care practice.

This project aims to strengthen general practice through smart practice innovations. Through research, co-creation, and pilot projects, a dynamic working tool will be developed to help general practitioners work more efficiently, reduce their workload, and keep care accessible. In this way, we support doctors in their daily practice and contribute to a resilient and future-oriented primary care system.

This project aims to map and implement international good practices of stepped care in (young onset) dementia care.

SimBIoZo, a repurposing project on Odisee University of Applied Sciences’ Aalst campus, sustainably creates 804.1 m² of simulation-based education space, where students from various programmes train in a realistic care environment using the latest technological tools and methods.
