“I have been conducting research on the Dutch COVID-19 contact tracing app: CoronaMelder, and COVID-19 has taught us the importance of user-friendly, reliable and inclusive digital health tools. Generally, there has been a shift in acceptance of remote healthcare, and the need for credible digital solutions is now greater than ever. Fortunately, the Liva programmes have demonstrated how effective personalised, remote health solutions can be, and I am delighted to take a seat in this highly competent Advisory Board,” adds Prof. Gemert-Pijnen.
