معرفی
Anne-mie Sponselee is a lecturer-researcher (teacher-researcher) at Fontys University of Applied Sciences within the University of Applied Sciences Human and Health division. She also serves on the board of the Herman Bouma Fund for Gerontechnology and is a core-group member for Education in the national Digital Skills in Healthcare Coalition.
Education:
- MSc in Human-Technology Interaction – Eindhoven University of Technology
- PhD (Dr. Ir.) – discipline aligned with human-technology interaction and gerontechnology
Research Focus: Anne-mie’s scholarly work centers on gerontechnology—the design, implementation, and evaluation of technological solutions that support older adults in maintaining independence and well-being. Her projects span real-time location systems (RTLS) for asset and person tracking in nursing homes, smart-home and tele-care technologies, and age-friendly architectural innovations. She explores how co-creation with multidisciplinary stakeholders and end-users can improve acceptance and efficacy of these technologies.
Publication Trends: From 2008 to 2018 her publications reveal a consistent trajectory toward integrating engineering, health sciences, and social perspectives to address practical challenges in elderly care. Topics include robotics for home monitoring, stakeholder perceptions of smart-home systems, and evidence-based architectural design for Dutch nursing homes.
