| Virtual Reality Workshop | Virtual reality is an innovative solution in therapy for mental health problems. For example, it provides opportunities to transfer real-life situations to a save environment to better prepare patients to these real-life situations. Mondriaan is a large mental health care provider of South-Limburg. Their innovation lab introduced VR in daily practice and they give us the opportunity to experience VR during an interactive workshop at their innovation lab. | |
| Workshop 1. Designing and conducting focus groups’ entails every decision researchers encounter when considering, designing, preparing, and conducting focus groups. | Dr. Katja Cardol | Katja Cardol combines the fields of sports and health psychology and translates research to practice as a trainer/teacher. Among other things, she teaches at Leiden University and works as trainer and project manager of The Vitality Box, a healthy lifestyle programme for LUMC employees. During her PhD, she conducted a large multi center mixed-methods study among patients with chronic kidney disease and their health professionals, with focus groups to explore the barriers and facilitators to healthy lifestyle behaviors. Also, she contributed as a researcher and moderator/interviewer to qualitative research in healthcare among different populations, such as people with persistent lyme disease, elderly with renal failure, and people who have had reconstructive surgery after facial skin cancer. The workshop ‘Designing and conducting focus groups’ entails every decision researchers encounter when considering, designing, preparing, and conducting focus groups.* Based on recent evidence, we will discuss and practice various challenges, such as: When (not) to use qualitative focus groups in mixed-methods research, how to transform research questions into an interview protocol, how to select suitable participants and form groups, which tasks belong to the discussion moderator and observer, and how to make the most out of a focus group discussion. Drawing from her own experiences, Katja will share common pitfalls in preparation and logistics and prepare you for different types of participants in focus group dynamics. *i.e., the workshop is not about analysis and reporting directly, but does provide the fundament for those follow-up stages in focus group studies. |
| Workshop 2. Innovative Technologies and Evidence-Based Strategies for the Future of Well-Being | Govert Viergever | Govert Viergever is a former Olympic rower who, despite his relatively small stature (1.84 m), reached the finals at the Rio 2016 Olympics and finished in fifth place. He compensated for his height with a combination of elite sports discipline and a keen curiosity for new technologies. To maximize his performance, he immersed himself in the latest approaches to optimal well-being: biohacking. This method involves analyzing biomarkers such as DNA, blood values, and the microbiome, and using these insights to optimize nutrition, sleep, training, breathing, mental conditioning, and more. While conventional health improvements often focus on a single aspect, Govert emphasizes the power of a multifactorial approach. In his workshops, Govert makes complex topics—such as personal data analysis, genetics, wearable technology, and mental resilience—accessible to a broad audience. He has tested almost every imaginable biohacking method at an elite level and continuously explores new, innovative ways to measure and enhance health and performance. By combining his hands-on experience as a top athlete with scientifically backed strategies, he helps others—from athletes and scientists to businesses—optimize their well-being and performance in an evidence-based manner. Govert is known for his humorous and energetic presentation style. In the Netherlands, he gained widespread recognition after his sports career through the NPO1 program The Biohack Project, in which he explored unconventional approaches to health and performance. In his workshop, "Innovative Technologies and Evidence-Based Strategies for the Future of Well-Being," Govert demonstrates how researchers, professionals, and everyday individuals can use the right tools and mindset to assess their own health and elevate it with immediately applicable insights and strategies. |
