Matthijs Noordzij on stress wearables and human-centred tech

These questions are explored by our guest prof. dr. Matthijs Noordzij, professor of Health Psychology and Technology at the University of Twente. Being an expert on sensor technologies, Matthijs explains what sensor technologies are and how they can be compassionately used in healthcare.
