Abstract
Chronic diseases represent a significant share of the burden of disease globally. They are responsible for 86% of premature deaths in Europe. Unhealthy behaviours, such as physical inactivity, insufficient sleep, poor nutrition, and tobacco intake, explain up to 50% of chronic disease risk. However, the evidence is not precise enough to assess the risk for each disease. Human subject studies monitoring behaviours over long periods (longitudinally) during daily life (in situ) by leveraging unobtrusive (observational) technology can allow human behaviours to unfold. They can not only qualify, but also quantify the relationships between behaviours, health, and Quality of Life (QoL) outcomes from compliant participants.
This PhD thesis explores two research areas. In the first area, we research the motivation and facilitation of participation in human subject studies. We propose a presentational model using personalised stories to improve human studies’ participation. We design two unifying frameworks for conducting a wide range of human subject studies (mQoL mobile app, mQoL-Chat chatbot). They leverage two modules designed and developed by the author in mQoL-Lab, the lab platform of the Quality of Life Technologies lab.
In the second area, we research the relationships between behavioural, health, and QoL outcomes (co-calibration). We present the coQoL computational model for co-calibration. We demonstrate its feasibility in a study on N = 42 healthy older individuals (a population at risk, appropriate for disease prevention, and having benefitted from insufficient co-calibrations). They answered questionnaires on eight physical and psychological validated scales (physical activity: IPAQ, social support:
MSPSS, anxiety and depression: GADS, nutrition: PREDIMED and SelfMNA, memory: MFE, sleep: PSQI, and health-related QoL: EQ-5D-3L). They wore consumer wearables (Fitbit Charge 2) for up to two years. The wearables reported behavioural markers (physical activity, sleep, heart rate) in situ. We observed new relationships between these outcomes. We described the study’s human factors and data quality.
The scientific contributions in both research areas can inform the design of future studies leveraging consumer technology that monitors behaviours longitudinally in situ to assess and improve health and QoL.

SUMMARY
During my studies I have developed interests in several scientific fields at the
boarder of physics and chemistry. The subject that interests me most, and is
the guideline throughout my education, is working with spectroscopic methods. I
enjoy using different instruments and combining methodologies to achieve the de-
sired experimental results. Honesty, proactive, perseverance and helpfulness are a
few words that best describe my character and help work together in a team. From
a personal point of view, I have an active lifestyle and love to do sports in my spare
time.
EXPERIENCE
• Ph.D. project: Spectroscopy at the nanometer scale 2012 - 2016
Vrije Universiteit, Amsterdam, The Netherlands
The project aimed to explore different methods to obtain optical information be-
yond the diffraction limit. An important part was the development of a new sensor
that combines atomic force microscopy with scanning near-field optical microscopy
in a small easy-to-use device. The program was a collaboration between two uni-
versity research groups and Philips Innovation Services. As the only Ph.D. stu-
dent involved, I was required to manage the project and work as an independent
researcher. I enjoyed working with a large variety of instruments ranging from mi-
croscopes and spectrometers to fabrication equipment such as laser ablation and
focused ion beam milling.

OTHER INTERESTS
Besides my scientific interests I love sports, in particular rowing, but also cycling and running. As
an athlete I went to the World-cup in Lucerne, Swiss in the lightweight mens eight in 2005 and 2006.
Later as a coach I joined the Junior World Championships. In 2009 I was a member of the board
of my students rowing club Skøll. In addition I participated in various other committees, including
organizing the largest international rowing event in the Netherlands, the Koninklijke HollandBeker
Regatta. I believe an active lifestyle aside from the professional duties is very important. Therefore,
nowadays I keep myself fit by running, cycling and speed-skating.
