RESEARCH PROFILE

Kiki Veenhof is a PhD Candidate in the Department of Industrial Design at Eindhoven University of Technology. Her research focuses on designing and developing Data Sensemaking Tools for Home-Based Cardiac Care. She is part of the Cardiac Care @ Home consortium, which aims to improve heart failure care by shifting parts of treatment from the hospital to the home environment. The project develops and evaluates a new care pathway that combines non-invasive home monitoring, home-based cardiac rehabilitation, and AI-supported algorithms for early detection of patient deterioration.

Kiki鈥檚 work specifically explores how complex health data can be translated into understandable, trustworthy, and actionable insights for patients, clinicians, and other stakeholders in everyday care contexts. Within the consortium, she collaborates closely with M谩xima Medical Centre and other partners including Erasmus MC, Radboud UMC, the Dutch Heart Institute, and NGO鈥檚 like Harteraad and Pharos.
